Nigeria's Super Eagles left Bafana Bafana and football fans in Mzansi shattered after their AFCON semi-final triumph, seeing them progress to their first final since winning the 2013 AFCON hosted in South Africa.
The banter, tension and general discussion around the Nigeria vs South Africa clash has been rife online, and this viral video will warm the hearts of many people from both nations.
The video shows a Nigerian school teacher wearing a replica of the Super Eagles' 2013 adidas AFCON jersey, being given a guard of honour by his class who gave him a rapturous applause.
This clip is refreshing after seeing some hateful comments from both sets of South African and Nigerian supporters before, during and after yesterday's final.
