In what has become a recurring decimal, the Super Eagles have once again dashed the hope of millions of Nigerians following the disappointing 1-1 draw against the Warriors of Zimbabwe in Uyo Akwa Ibom State.
The Super Eagles struggled to get a goal in the 78th minute courtesy of Victor Osimhen. Sadly, the Super Eagles defense lost focus in added time of the encounter as substitute, John Chirewa scored the equalizer to silence vociferous supporters of the Super Eagles.
The draw has condemned the Super Eagles to a must-win of all their remaining four games to manage to qualify as runners up in Group C for Play-Offs.
With the draw, Nigeria languishes in the fourth position with seven points behind Rwanda and Benin Republic who have Eight points apiece.
The Bafana Bafana of South Africa top the log with 13 Points, following their 2-0 triumph over Benin Republic.
The Super Eagles will play South Africa in Pretoria; Rwanda and Benin Republic at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo; and will play Lesotho Maseru.
