Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen displayed his frustration after Nigeria’s disappointing 1-1 draw against Zimbabwe in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier in Uyo on Tuesday evening. Napoli loaned star Victor Osimhen put Nigeria in the driver’s seat during their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe with a well-placed header in the 74th minute, connecting expertly with an Ola Aina cross. The goal sent the home fans at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium into celebration, as the Super Eagles looked poised to secure all three points. However, the jubilation was cut short when Zimbabwe’s Tawanda Chirewa struck in the dying moments of the game, finding the back of the net in the 90th minute. The dramatic late equalizer stunned the Nigerian crowd and dashed hopes of a much-needed victory for the Super Eagles. The disappointing 1-1 draw leaves Nigeria in a precarious position in Group C of the qualifiers. With just seven points from five matches, the three-time African champions remain in fourth place, struggling to keep pace with the group leaders. Meanwhile, South Africa continues to strengthen their hold on the top spot, sitting comfortably with 13 points. Their consistent performances put them in prime position to claim an automatic qualification spot for the 2026 World Cup. The result piles further pressure on the Super Eagles, who now have little margin for error in their remaining fixtures. With qualification hopes hanging in the balance, the Nigerian squad must regroup and deliver improved performances to keep their World Cup dreams alive. A widely circulated video on social media captured Victor Osimhen visibly frustrated as he walked off the pitch following Nigeria’s disappointing draw against Zimbabwe. As Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface approached, seemingly to console or engage him in conversation, Osimhen reacted by pushing him away in frustration before heading straight toward the tunnel. This reaction highlights the Galatasaray loanee’s profound frustration with the outcome, as Nigeria finds itself under increasing pressure in Group C, having managed just one win, four draws, and one defeat in the World Cup qualifiers. Although the Super Eagles still have a mathematical chance of qualifying, the lost points have fueled disappointment within the Nigerian football community, with Osimhen’s reaction reflecting the team’s overall frustration. Nigeria’s upcoming qualifiers against Rwanda and South Africa will be pivotal, as they look to recover and strengthen their bid for a place at the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
