According to a report by Fido on The Sports Bay, Head Coach of the Super Eagles, Rohr says the eagles will beat Bafana Bafana of South Africa to honour the late hero.
“We will dedicate our win over South Africa to Keshi to mark the one year of his death. The boys will play this game with all their might to ensure we get a win in memory of the former coach of Super Eagles.
“Keshi was a committed person as a player‚ I played against him in the French league while he was with Strasbourg. He was a good leader and good coach. We will play for him.”
Meanwhile, Rohr said that despite starting well with Nigeria, he was going to face his sternest test in Bafana Bafana, but remains optimist of a good result.

“They are the strongest opponent I will face so far as Super Eagles coach because they have not lost a match over a long time. I am also aware that they stopped Nigeria from getting to the AFCON in 2015‚ and that this match is very important to Nigeria."
At the training today, a minute silence was observed in honor of the late coach.
