Zimbabwean Warriors diminishes Eagles World Cup hope

The Warriors of Zimbabwe have diminished the World Cup hopes of Super Eagles.

The Nigerian Super Eagles were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against the Warriors in their 2026 World Cup qualifying match.

Victor Osimhen gave Nigeria the lead in the 74th minute, but Zimbabwe found an equalizer late in the game to deny the Super Eagles all three points.

The result leaves Nigeria in fourth place in Group C.

Eric Chelle’s side will now look to bounce back in their next fixtures as they look to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
