Debutant Azeez Fires Nigeria Past Zimbabwe Into Unity Cup Final

Tuesday’s encounter had been billed as a continuation of the rivalry from the CAF World Cup qualifying campaign, where both sides played out two frustrating 1-1 draws.

Zimbabwe’s role in damaging Nigeria’s World Cup qualification hopes remained a talking point before kick-off, but the Super Eagles responded strongly on neutral ground to settle scores with an emphatic win.

Zimbabwe will now compete in the third-place play-off scheduled for the same day as the final.
