It appears that the Super Eagles of Nigeria would not be defending the trophy it won last year in South Africa as the Bafana Bafana this evening dimmed the hope of the Nigerian side following a 2-2 draw at the newly built Uyo international stadium.

Nigeria was bundled out of the qualifiers after it failed to defeat the Jacob Zuma boys who had already qualified before the match.

Despite the one man deficit the visitors faced following a 68-minute red card given to Letsholonyane, the Eagles failed to capitalise on it and the brace from Sone Aluko wasn't just enough.

Coach Ephraim 'Shakes' Mashaba had vowed to shock Nigeria which he did and for this act, the current African champions wouldn't be in Equatorial Guinea next year to defend the AFCON trophy.

The future of Coach Stephen Keshi now hangs in the balance as it is not expected that the NFF would renew his contract.
