2026 WCQ: Nigerians react to Super Eagles’ 1-1 draw with Zimbabwe
Some Nigerian football fans have expressed their displeasure over the national team’s performance against Zimbabwe in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier, which ended in a 1-1 draw on Tuesday at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.
DAILY POST reports that Victor Osimhen gave Eric Chelle’s side the lead in the 74th minute, but Zimbabwe equalised in the 90th minute, thanks to Tawanda Chirewa’s strike.
The result against the Warriors of Zimbabwe means the Super Eagles remain in fourth place in Group C, behind leaders South Africa, Benin Republic in second place, and Rwanda in third.
After the game, supporters took to their X accounts to share their thoughts on the match.
Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST from X:
@temmy_israel: “Too many deadweights in this team! You will start winning when you get rid of the dead weights and bring in quality players.”
@gpsych01_joe: “This is on Akpabio, his sins affecting the team on his home soil. Why didn’t they change the venue when we are aware of his atrocities in recent times?”
@MrAlaboRoland: “You guys should remain at home and forget about the 2026 Fútbol Mundial.”
@RENDAN_1: “Shameless team! It has always been hype with little to show for it. #SuperEagles.”
@kgatlii: “Give Zim our 3 points from Lesotho @FIFAcom.”
@BlxckLipPastor: “You were counting yellow cards while Zimbabwe was busy training.”
@Bashir_Mamu: “How are we going to miss out on back-to-back WCs?”
@NNAYELUGO_M: “We aren’t qualifying for the World Cup. Let’s just work on qualifying for AFCON.”
@paskael: “Super Chickens can’t surprise me as usual.”
