Zimbabwe hold Super Eagles
Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle failed to complete a back-to-back win as Nigeria were held in a 1-1 draw against Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State on Friday night.
The players were in a high mode following their 2-0 win against Rwanda at the Amahoro stadium in Kigali, but could not capitalise on their chances in front of their home fans in Uyo.
The Warriors battled hard against Nigeria with a well-coordinated defensive display, neutralising most attacks from the Super Eagles.
Prolific striker Victor Osimhen broke the deadlock in the 73rd minute with a header, converting Ola Aina’s cross that was flicked on by Tolu Arokodare per Punch.
However, Zimbabwe responded just 17 minutes later as substitute Tawanda Chirewa equalised for the visitors, dealing a significant blow to Nigeria’s chances of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup per Vavel.
Following the draw, Osimhen was visibly upset and refused to join his teammates in applauding the home fans, particularly the supporters' group, at the end of the match.
