Nigerian defender, Ola Aina has indicated that the Super Eagles have prepared well for the clash against South Africa in the semi-finals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Speaking in a pre-match interview, the full-back said the Super Eagles are focused on beating the Bafana Bafana to reach the finals of the ongoing tournament in Ivory Coast.

"Myself and my teammates are ready for this challenge. The coach is hard on us when he needs to be, and lenient when he needs to be - there's a good balance to help us progress.

"The focus is solely on the South Africa game and getting the job done. It's a massive match with so much at stake, including qualification for the 2023 AFCON final,” Ola Aina said as reported by CAFOnline.

The game between Nigeria and South Africa is scheduled to be played on Wednesday, February 7.

The game will kick off at 5 pm.
