The result saw players from Banyana camp notably Tigres forward, Thembi Kgatlana highlight that the pitch facilities at home could power them over the nine-time Africa champions.
In history, the case has been different whenever South Africa plays the Falcons on home soil, dating back 1995 when the hosts were humiliated in a 7-1 scoreline by the West Africans.
Nigeria, has never suffered defeat in the foreign territory, a record that favors Waldrum’s side.
