Sad To See - Former Super Eagles Defender Reveals Who To Blame For Nigeria's Draw With Zimbabwe

Former Super Eagles defender Abbey George believes both head coach Eric Chelle and his players must share the blame for Nigeria's frustrating 1-1 draw with Zimbabwe , a result that leaves the country's 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification hopes in serious jeopardy, Soccernet.ng reports .

After securing a 2-0 win over Rwanda in Kigali, Nigeria had been expected to build momentum with another victory at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.

Instead, the Super Eagles squandered several clear-cut chances before conceding a late equaliser, dropping two crucial points.

The Super Eagles had ample opportunities to take control of the match, with Victor Osimhen , Moses Simon, Ademola Lookman , Tolu Arokodare, Alex Iwobi , and Wilfred Ndidi all failing to convert key chances.

Despite their wastefulness, Nigeria finally broke the deadlock with 15 minutes left when Arokodare set up Ola Aina, whose pinpoint cross was headed home by Osimhen.
