After a good 2-0 victory over the Amavubi of Rwanda at Stade Amahoro in Kigali through a brace from Victor Osimhen, one would have thought by that, Nigeria is set to brighten their World Cup Qualification Chances.
Nigeria had everything to fall back on. As there was already an impending issue of a possible point deduction from South Africa due to alleged fielding of an unqualified player in their game against Lesotho.
In addition, a good home advantage against a Zimbabwean side that hadn’t become much of a threat in their group plus the quality of attack the team could boast of.
Osimhen after a hard fight up front got the goal in the 74th minute via a near post diving header. Unfortunately Nigeria could not hold on to the lead as they conceded in the dying minutes (90th) through Chirewa for Zimbabwe leaving any World Cup Qualification hope in jeopardy.
