An uncertain World Cup is again staring Nigeria in the face as the Super Eagles on Sunday failed to soar in their qualifying match against Zimbabwe.
Kelechi Iheanacho’s 67th minute goal saved the Eagles’ was their saving grace but the future may have gathered more clouds.
The goal drew the Nigerian side level for a 1-1 ending against Zimbabwe in their Group C Match Day 2 fixture at Butare in Rwanda.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Walter Musona had given the game’s hosts a 26th minute lead from a free-kick from about 30 metres out.
The goal again underlined the need for the Nigerian team’s technical crew to have a re-think about their goalkeeping department.
It was a kick goalkeeper Francis Uzoho should have been able to do something about, given the distance, but he only leapt when it was too late.
NAN reports that the result means the Nigeria have only two points from two matches in the group, and will host South Africa on June 5 in their Match Day 3 fixture.
