Group C Update: Nigeria's World Cup Hopes Take A Dent!

Group C

Nigeria 1-1 Zimbabwe 

Nigeria failed to make it back-to-back wins in Group C after drawing 1-1 with Zimbabwe in Uyo.

The Super Eagles bagged their first win on Thursday after defeating Rwanda, while Zimbabwe clawed back a two-goal deficit to hold Benin.

After a scoreless first half, the Super Eagles took the lead in the 74th minute as Victor Osimhen found the back of the net to make it three goals in two games.

Nigeria were moments away from victory until Tawanda Chirewa found the equaliser for the Warriors in the 90th minute.

As a result, Nigeria find themselves in fourth spot, six points behind group leaders South Africa.

The point sees Rwanda move up to second spot in Group C, while Lesotho remain unchanged in fifth spot.

Group D

Angola 1-2 Cape Verde

Cape Verde cemented top spot in Group D with a 2-1 victory away to Angola on Tuesday evening.

Dailon Livramento bagged a brace for the visitors to cancel out Gelson Dala's 50th minute strike for the visitors.

Group G 

Uganda 1-0 Guinea

Uganda kept their World Cup hopes alive after defeating Guinea 1-0 at the Mandela National Stadium.
