South Africa coach Shakes Mashaba believes Nigeria left Sunday’s match venue the happier of the two sides.
Bongani Zungu’s stoppage time goal secured a 1-1 draw for Bafana Bafana at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit.
The hosts had dominated most of the game, but failed to take their chances with Andile Jali missing a penalty just after the hour mark.
Ahmed Musa opened the scoring with a spectacular effort with five minutes remaining before Zungu pounced.
Mashaba explained that to his mind Nigeria approached the game negatively, with the Super Eagles the happier of the two sides at the final whistle despite conceding a late equaliser.
