Greg Etafia escapes as Eagles stoned

South Africa-based duo Greg Etafia and Idah Peterside narrowly escaped serious head injuries when the Super Eagles bus was stoned by angry fans after what has been generally seen another unconvincing performance.
The Super Eagles eked out a barely-deserved 1-0 win over Mozambique with a goal deep in stoppage time by Obinna Nsofor.

The team were booed from start to finish, but the fans did not stop there, and showed their frustrations by lying in wait for the team and hurling missiles at the brand new team bus.

Both men were sitting together in the bus and one of the missiles smashed the glass.

Etafia, who had the window seat, was rescued from the incoming projectile by the blinds, while Idah, on the aisle seat, had his quick reactions to thank for getting out of the way of flying shards.
