Super Eagles Held By Tanzania At Half-Time As Both Teams Share Two Goals In Uyo

According to a report by Flashscore on Friday, November 13, 2026, Nigeria and Tanzania have gone into the half-time break with a 1-1 draw in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying encounter at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.

The Super Eagles started the match brightly and needed only two minutes to break the deadlock through Alhassan Yusuf, whose early effort put Nigeria ahead and gave the home fans hope of a comfortable afternoon.

However, the Nigerian side failed to protect their advantage as Tanzania fought their way back into the game. The visitors eventually found an equaliser in the 32nd minute through Alphonce Msanga.

Tanzania’s goal came after Wilfred Ndidi lost possession in midfield, allowing the opposition to take advantage and initiate an attacking move that ended with Msanga beating the Nigerian defence.

The development meant that Nigeria’s early lead counted for little as both sides returned to the dressing rooms with the scoreline level.

For Eric Chelle, the half-time interval presents an opportunity to address some of the problems witnessed during the opening 45 minutes, particularly the loss of possession in midfield and the team’s inability to maintain control after scoring.

The Super Eagles will need a much stronger performance after the restart if they hope to claim all three points. Their attacking players must also become more decisive in the final third to create additional scoring opportunities.

With the score at 1-1, the contest remains wide open, and Nigerian supporters will be expecting their team to come out with greater determination in the second half.
