Meanwhile, several commentators have faulted the performance of match officials in the decisive encounter, insinuating that Nigeria should have won the match 3-1 had they been fairer.
It was however not known if the Super Eagles would be contesting the match outcome for whatever it is worth.
The South Africans had one the first leg played in Nigeria by a surprise 2-0 margin.
