Nigeria vs South Africa: What Nwabali Told Me Before AFCON — Bafana Goalie Williams

Bafana Bafana goalkeeper, Rowen Williams has opened up on the conversation between him and Stanley Nwabili before the start of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

Williams and Nwabali are two of the highly rated goalkeepers in the South African Premier League.

The duo have also impressed for South Africa and Nigeria at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

They have kept four clean sheets each in the competition.

“I’m happy for him, I had a chat with him when we played each other in Port Elizabeth and it’s so weird that he told me that I inspire him,” Williams told a press conference in Bouake.

“The way he’s playing now, I’m so happy that I can inspire someone, a fellow professional – so tomorrow we’ll share the stage together and go out to continue doing what we’ve doing as trying to be the best goalkeepers we can be.

“He’s been amazing this season but tomorrow, hopefully, he can concede, so that we can go into the final.”

South Africa and Nigeria will clash at the Stade de la Paix, Bouake on Wednesday (today).
