The dreams of Super Eagles of rescuing their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign have been left in tatters after the Brave Warriors of Zimbabwe secured a late 1-1 draw at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo, yesterday.
The Nigerian side now back in the fourth position in Group C of the World Cup qualifiers.
A late goal in the added time by Tawanda Chirewa after a mix-up in the Nigeria defence gifted the visitors the equaliser after Victor Osimhen had given the Eagles the lead in the 74th minute.
Despite all efforts to make it a back-to-back win after the team’s victory against the Amavubi of Rwanda in their last game, it was not meant to be as the Super Eagles were lethargic in their approach to the game, with the team failing to create so many chances in the first half of the game.
