Nigeria v Morocco: Africa Cup of Nations semi-final – live

now 20.46 GMT HALF-TIME Well, this was perhaps to be expected. A lack of clearcut chances but plenty of tension. Nigeria will know the longer it stays like this, the more jittery the Moroccan crowd will become. I fear we may need extra time. Share
