Nigeria superstar Iwobi praises Warriors

Nigeria football superstar Alex Iwobi has praised the Warriors and gave credit to coach Baltemar Brito’s charges for getting their tactics right as the two teams settled for a one-all draw in a 2026 Fifa World Cup Group C qualifier at Huye Stadium, in Butare, Rwanda, on Sunday.

Walter Musona scored a brilliant freekick to give Zimbabwe a deserved first half lead, a goal that was cancelled out by Kelechi Ihenacho just after the hour mark.

The Super Eagles started the game as favourites to win the match but had to dig deeper to get the point.
