Brace hero Arokodare eyes more goals in Zanzibar

Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare has expressed his goal-scoring ambition as Nigeria prepare for the upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Zanzibar. Arokodare, who netted twice off the bench in the 3-1 win over Tanzania, emphasized that he is tasked with scoring goals for the national team. "As a striker, I need to score goals.

That is my job for the team, and scoring goals wins games," he stated. Arokodare, who was close to a hat-trick in the match, acknowledged that the responsibility lies not only on him but also on every other striker on the team. He reiterated his commitment to making the most of scoring opportunities, whether starting or coming off the bench.

Nigeria's win in the first leg of the match lifted them to six points from three Group L games, one behind Guinea-Bissau. The return fixture is scheduled for November 17 at the Amaan Stadium.
