NGA 3-1 TAN: Super Eagles Superstar Wins The Man of The Match Award After His Impressive Performance

According to a report by Flashscore on Friday November 13, 2026, Tolu Arokodare was named man of the match after delivering an outstanding second-half performance, scoring twice to inspire Nigeria’s 3-1 victory over Tanzania in their AFCON qualifying encounter.

Introduced at halftime, the striker immediately strengthened Nigeria’s attacking threat, using his physical presence, movement and determination to trouble Tanzania’s defence and help the Super Eagles regain control.

Arokodare opened his scoring account in the 52nd minute, finishing Wilfred Ndidi’s assist from close range to restore Nigeria’s advantage after Tanzania had previously drawn level.

The 25-year-old completed his impressive brace eight minutes later, confidently converting Moses Usor’s cross with his left foot to extend Nigeria’s lead and put the hosts firmly ahead.

His contribution proved decisive, as Nigeria benefited from his clinical finishing and improved attacking presence. Arokodare continued creating problems for Tanzania’s defenders throughout his appearance.

Although goalkeeper Aishi Manula denied him another opportunity to score in the closing stages, his two goals had already established his importance to Nigeria’s victory..
