Hope of Nigeria qualifying for the 2026 FIFA world cup further dimmed in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State capital as visiting Warriors of Zimbabwe hit the host nation below the belt.
It was a ding dong affairs in the first stanza of the encounter even though the super Eagles made several unsuccessful incursions into the opponent’s area.
Zimbabwe shot stopper was the super Eagles albatross.
A 74 minutes curtain raiser by Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen was to brighten the chances of Eagles but the last minute equaliser by the visitors put paid to the excitement.
Nigeria will have to work harder to meet the minimum threshold for qualifying for the mundial.
Ends.
