2026 WCQ: We could’ve scored 10 goals against Zimbabwe — Super Eagles coach, Chelle


Eric Chelle, Super Eagles head coach, has stated that his team could have scored 10 goals against Zimbabwe in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.

Chelle witnessed the Super Eagles draw 1-1 with Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.

Nigeria grabbed the lead in the 74th minute through Victor Osimhen’s header.

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.”
