Tolu Arokodare was honored as Man of the Match after Nigeria's 3-1 win over Tanzania in AFCON 2027 qualifying matchday three, held at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.

Coming on for Tochukwu Nnadi at the start of the second half, Arokodare scored Nigeria's second goal shortly after his introduction and added a third on the hour mark.
