The Super Eagles had entered the fixture with high expectations, following a commanding 2-0 victory over Rwanda in Kigali. 

Victor Osimhen eventually broke the deadlock in the 74th minute, connecting with a precise low cross from Ola Aina to nod home the opener. 

However, the joy was short-lived as Zimbabwe struck back in stoppage time.

 A defensive lapse allowed Tawanda Chirewa to beat goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali at his near post, silencing the Uyo crowd.

The result has heightened concerns over Nigeria’s qualification campaign.

As the Super Eagles prepare for their next challenge, Alozie’s support echoes the sentiment of many hopeful fans, but Eric Chelle’s team must now deliver results on the pitch to keep their World Cup dream alive.
