After a goalless first half, Rantie broke the deadlock at the 51st minute with a great header from inside the box when he connected with a decent cross by Mphahlele on the right-hand side.
Bafana Bafana increased the tally in the 81st minute through Percy Tau, who beat the offside trap, rounded the Nigerian goalkeeper before slotting into an open net.
