Nigerian super eagles suffered a huge blow to their hopes of qualifying for 2026 World Cup as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home at God'swill Akpabio international stadium, uyo by Zimbabwe.
Victor Osimhen's header goal looked to be enough to secure super eagles three important points not until Zimbabwean striker Taranda Chirewa levelled for the visitors in the 90th minute, silencing the Nigerian fans in Godswill Akpabio international Stadium, uyo.
The result means Nigeria stands fourth in Group C log of the CAF qualifying section, six points behind South Africa who happens to be the leader of the group after six matches. With only the top side in each group guaranteed a place at the finals in 2026, September's clash with Bafana Bafana will be critical to Nigeria's super eagles hopes.
