The Super Eagles of Nigeria failed to close the gap on group leaders South Africa after playing another 1-1 draw against The Warriors of Zimbabwe at the Hure Stadium in Bature, Rwanda on Sunday afternoon.
However, it was Baltemar Bito’s men that shockingly went ahead after almost half an hour of play when Walter Musona unleashed a ferocious free kick
display from the Warriors while the Eagles looked hapless again in search of an equaliser.
It did however come from Kelechi Iheanacho in the 67th minute after a nice over-the-top pass from Joe Aribor to Moses Simon who laid it for the Leicester forward to guide home and earning the team another point.
Despite the draw, the Nigerians remain second in Group C of the World Cup qualifying series, a point behind South Africa while Zimbabwe stay in third.
