The Super Eagles faced criticism after a lackluster performance against Zimbabwe in the 2026 World Cup qualifier. Jose Peseiro’s team struggled to a 1-1 draw in their second game of the qualifiers, leaving some fans disappointed.
Peseiro made six changes to the team that previously drew against Lesotho, but the adjustments failed to bring victory for the Eagles. The team’s struggle to score and the goalkeeper’s mishap led to a tense 90 minutes and an additional nine minutes of play.
After the game, fans expressed their frustration on social media. Some called for the coach’s dismissal, while others shared sarcastic and humorous reactions to the team’s performance. Despite the disappointment, Nigeria still sits in second place in the qualifiers.
The 2026 World Cup qualifiers will resume in June 2024, where Nigeria will have the opportunity to redeem itself against South Africa and Benin Republic.
