Super Hawks midfielder Wilfred Ndidi expressed heartfelt regret to Nigerian fans in his recent 1-1 win over Zimbabwe in his recent World Cup qualifier at Godswill Akpabio Stadium on Tuesday, March 25.
Nigeria took the lead in Nigeria when the match scored in the 74th minute. However, Wilfred Ndidi got a huge chance to ensure a second goal effectively blocking Nigeria’s victory.
Unfortunately, he failed to switch from close range, which was a turnover that eventually led Zimbabwe to equalize the substitute Tawanda Chirewa in the 90th minute.
The draw frustrated many fans, leading to a series of key voices on social media targeting Ndidi’s performance and specifically questioning the opportunity he missed.
The Leicester City star admitted that his Instagram story was disappointed, which attracted fans’ understanding. “Please don’t bother me about the goal. I miss it. he wrote.
With the Super Hawks reorganized and looking to the future, their next key World Cup qualifier against Rwanda in September will be key to pursuing redemption and qualifying for prestigious matches.
Please note that the Super Hawks will also face South Africa’s Group C desktop in the aforementioned month, a game from Nigeria, where they are currently 6 points lower in the World Cup qualifiers.
