The head coach of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, has admitted that the team \u201cmade some mistakes\u201d during their 1-1 draw with Zimbabwe in a 2026 World Cup qualifier.<\/p>\n

Nigeria squandered a one-goal lead, dropping two points at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.<\/p>\n

Victor Osimhen\u2019s header was cancelled out by a 90th-minute goal from Tawanda Chirewa.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the match, Chelle said: \u201cWe made some mistakes, but we were the better team on the pitch. This is football. It is difficult for me to analyse the game right now; we will review it later. We scored and tried to score another goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked specifically about the goal his team conceded, Chelle refused to blame any of his players.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to blame the defenders,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
