Nigerians were all over social media, aiming jibes at bitter rivals, South Africa who missed out on another World Cup final.
The Rainbow nation has failed to make it to the global showpiece since qualifying as host in 2010.
With nothing short of victory required against Senegal to keep their slim hopes alive of a ticket to Russia, Bafana Bafana shockingly stumbled to a 2-0 defeat at home.
That ensured the Terenga Lions joined the Super Eagles and Egypt from the continent to book a place at next year’s tournament.
And as you would expect Nigerians fled to Twitter to ridicule their rivals.
I’m watching a repeat of South Africa v Senegal. Any Bafana Bafana fans want to join me? #RSASEN #Russia2018
