Nigeria’s head coach, Stephen Keshi believes the Super Eagles will have themselves to blame if they allow Itumeleng Khune, Siphiwe Tshabalala and Bernard Parker have a field day on Sunday.
Nigeria and South Africa meet in a decisive preliminary game at the 2014 African Nations Championship (Chan) on Sunday and Keshi believes the three men hold the key to a Bafana Bafana victory over the Super Eagles in Cape Town.
“South Africa is a very good team. Khune, Tshabalala and Parker are very experienced players who can change the game at any moment,” he said to reporters.


Nigeria lost its opening game 1-2 to Mali before bouncing back to contention with a 4-2 win over Mozambique.
Defeat to South Africa on Sunday will sound the death knell for Nigeria’s chances of progressing to the quarter finals of the competition.
South Africa beat Mozambique 3-1 in their opening game before drawing 1-1 with Mali on match day two.
The South Africans will progress to the knockout rounds with a draw against Nigeria but Bafana coach, Gordon Igesund has stressed that they will not defend against Nigeria.
