WCQ: Nigeria’s Hope of Qualification Suffers Setback After 1-1 Draw With Zimbabwe
Our Editor
Nigeria’s hopes of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup has experience another setback following a 1-1 draw with Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom Monday evening
The Super Eagles had reignited their campaign with a 2-0 victory over Rwanda last Friday.
However, against the Warriors on Tuesday, Eric Chelle’s men looked lacklustre and wasteful in front of goal despite creating several chances
Victor Osimhen eventually put Nigeria ahead in the 73rd minute, heading home after fine combination play between Tolu Arokodare and Ola Aina.
But the visitors stunned the home supporters with a last-minute equaliser in the 90th minute.
Tawanda Chirewa ran through the Eagles’ defence unchallenged before slotting the ball past Stanley Nwabali.
The result leaves Nigeria in fourth place with seven points, one behind Benin Republic and Lesotho.
South Africa currently top Group C with 13 points.
