Arokodare Delivers on His Promise With Second-Half Brace as Nigeria Beat Tanzania 3–1
Tolu Arokodare backed up his pre-match promise by scoring twice in eight minutes as Nigeria beat Tanzania 3–1 in their AFCON 2027 qualifier in Uyo. He came on at half-time, with the teams level at 1–1 after Alhassan Yusuf’s early goal and Alphonce Msanga’s equaliser for Tanzania. Arokodare put Nigeria back in front in the 52nd minute with a back-flick from Wilfred Ndidi’s pass. He scored again in the 60th minute, finishing a delivery from fellow substitute Moses Usor. The brace came with Victor Osimhen unavailable following knee surgery. The win took Nigeria to six points from three Group L matches, one point behind leaders Guinea-Bissau. Nigeria are set to face Tanzania again in Zanzibar on November 17.
