So far, it’s been a tough battle at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo. Nigeria has been dominant in possession, creating multiple chances, but Zimbabwe’s goalkeeper, Washington Arubi, is having an outstanding game, denying every effort that comes his way. The Super Eagles have been relentless, with Victor Osimhen leading the attack alongside Ademola Lookman, Samuel Chukwueze, and Moses Simon.
Despite Nigeria's strong start, Zimbabwe has also shown resilience. Their last game against Benin saw them come back from a two-goal deficit to draw 2-2, proving that they are no pushovers. However, they remain at the bottom of Group C, making this match even more crucial for them.
There have been some exciting moments already! Arokodare had a big chance to put Nigeria ahead but sent his header over the bar. On the other side, Zimbabwe managed a dangerous counterattack, only for Dzvukamanja to sky his shot. The Super Eagles are pushing hard, with Lookman and Iwobi creating space and trying to break through Zimbabwe’s solid defense.
Chelle has stuck with the same lineup from the Rwanda match, showing confidence in his squad. With Osimhen fit and leading the attack, Nigerian fans are hopeful that a breakthrough is coming soon. The energy in the stadium is electric, and you can feel the tension as both teams battle for crucial points in the World Cup qualification race.
As it stands, it’s still goalless, but Nigeria is looking the stronger side. Will the Super Eagles find a way past Arubi and claim another victory? Stay tuned as the action unfolds!
