But the Super Eagles failed to hold on as Tawanda Chirewa’s late stoppage time equalizer ensured both Zimbabwe and Nigeria got a point each.
Speaking after the game, Chelle said at his post-match interview:
“What can I say about the first half? Normally, we could have scored ten goals in the first half.
“You make some mistakes in the last technical skills, and Zimbabwe comes to defend and stop the game.”
