AFCON 2027Q: Chelle reacts to Super Eagles’ victory over Tanzania

Super Eagles head coach Éric Chelle has reacted to Nigeria’s 3-1 victory over Tanzania in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matchday three encounter in Uyo on Friday night.

Goals from Alhassan Yusuf and Tolu Arokodare, who scored twice, secured all three points for Nigeria against Miguel Gamondi’s Taifa Stars.

Tanzania’s only goal of the encounter was scored by Alphonce Msanga, as the Super Eagles claimed victory in front of their home supporters.

Despite the positive result, Chelle admitted that his team still had areas of its performance that needed improvement ahead of the return fixture in Zanzibar next Tuesday.

“There are a lot of good things, but there are some bad things. We are not perfect. We have a few days to correct everything,” he told reporters.

Nigeria currently sits second in Group L with six points from three matches, while Guinea-Bissau’s Djurtus lead the group with seven points from the same number of games.
