Head coach Eric Chelle has lambasted his Super Eagles players for conceding an early goal to Tanzania in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. Nigeria emerged victorious 3-1 at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Friday evening. Alhassan Yusuf opened the scoring in the second minute, but Alphonce Msanga equalised before halftime.
Chelle made changes at the start of the second half, with Arokodare coming on to score twice and secure the win for Nigeria. Looking ahead to the return fixture in Zanzibar, Chelle has warned his team that the Uyo victory means little unless they replicate it on Tuesday. "They have nothing, and you give them something to eat. So they took it," Chelle said.
He added, "We have to go to Tanzania to win this game. So I'm happy for the players because, you know, it's not easy. But the reality is nothing. We have the second game after. The most important is the next game."
