07:33Eric Schell, they're already with the show, and George Eleni-Keyner were left after the 24-man squad.
07:43And now, I wonder if that's looking such a good decision.
07:49He does, of course, have options.
07:52Taiwo Awaniye, we do see Moses Simon warming up.
07:59Iwobi with a corny kick.
08:03Still with the white shirts.
08:08Taking his time, Nadim.
08:13Calvin.
08:15Basim, look at this, the Newcombe.
08:17Oh, what an opportunity for Benjamin Frederick, the central defender.
08:24Now Moses Simon comes on for Luckman.
08:34Experienced player.
08:37Keeps it simple.
08:39Drops the shoulder.
08:40Will he go for goal?
08:42Plays in a cross instead.
08:44Does a Nadim.
08:46The half, surely, for the Super Eagles.
08:51Yusuf, the goal scorer.
08:53Good ball down the wing.
08:55Oh, wow.
08:55Good improvisation.
08:57And a good game.
09:02So that is final whistle for the first half.
09:04It's 1-1 between Nigeria and Tanzania.
09:07An opener for Yusuf and Demand Sangha with 50 minutes to go of the first half.
09:111-1.
09:11At the break, we're taking a short break.
09:14We're watching big sports.
09:15We'll be back with highlights.
09:171-2-1.
09:21It's coming on four.
09:23Nigeria kick off the second half.
09:28Looking for the three points, which they so desperately need.
09:34Thought about letting it bounce out of play for a goal kick.
09:40Here is the substitute.
09:43He will be.
09:44Makes the switch.
09:46The telegraph, though.
09:49When you're that far forward, so many defenders are back.
09:53Cross field pass has got to be inch perfect.
09:57Ayena again.
09:58Floated one in.
10:00That was better.
10:03Nigeria attacking from both sides here.
10:06Stabbed into the penalty area.
10:07Adams!
10:09Agonizingly close.
10:10It's the ball just bouncing across the goal line.
10:12The corner.
10:13Looking to pile the pressure.
10:15Back onto Tanzania.
10:17Played it short.
10:18Gets it back to Simon.
10:20It will be.
10:22Tink-tin.
10:24And headed out.
10:29Nigeria.
10:30Got to be patient.
10:32The more that clock sticks down.
10:36Puene floats one in.
10:38On the header.
10:41On the header.
10:41Aroko Dare.
10:43The basketball player proportions there.
10:48So he's always going to be favourite to win the header.
10:51The safety chief.
10:52Uzo Moses.
10:53Acting as ball boy.
10:57And here they come again.
10:59Buene floats the ball in.
11:02Two players there in the penalty.
11:04But...
11:11Nicely played into the penalty area.
11:13Cut back.
11:14Brilliant finish.
11:16Brilliant.
11:17So cool.
11:19Well, for a big man.
11:20He's got a really good touch here.
11:23Aroko Dare.
11:25No wonder they're celebrating.
11:29Boy, oh boy.
11:30Did they need that.
11:31And he took it ever so well.
11:34The striker.
11:37Lapping up all the love and applause.
11:45Third goal for his country.
11:48In only his 13th appearance.
11:51He's been in great form for Ajax.
11:55Look at that sensational finish.
11:58With the outside heel of his right boot.
12:02Well played on Didi.
12:05Didn't he take it well?
12:09Come the hour.
12:11Come the main man.
12:15How did he squeeze the ball in?
12:17From that angle.
12:20Passy.
12:21Find Simon.
12:24Such a willing runner.
12:26Coast pass is marker.
12:27Good ball in.
12:29Headed clear.
12:32And Didi.
12:35Shot charged down.
12:37Come the Super Eagles again.
12:40Will he go for goal?
12:42He will.
12:43And it was a daisy cut up.
12:50Winning the midfield battles now on Nigeria.
12:54And here's another chance.
12:55Not matters indeed.
12:56It was a dole.
12:57Well blocked.
12:59Play goes on.
13:01Chaito, what a stop.
13:04Here's another chance.
13:07The referee has to go with the play. There.
13:12Looks to have taken it in his face.
13:16Arokodare, unselfishly, setting up his teammate.
13:22This little dink.
13:25A shot by Akor Adams, well blocked.
13:31He set himself a kick to Nigeria.
13:35Still waiting for Tanzania's first corner kick of the game.
13:40Taken short.
13:42Good swivel turn.
13:44By Uzo Moses.
13:47Good off.
13:51Nice touch. Arokodare! There he is again!
13:56Number three for Nigeria.
13:58Number two for the tour striker.
14:02What an impact he's having.
14:05Inspired substitution by coach Eric Schell.
14:11No wonder the big man is getting all the attention.
14:16Such a threat.
14:203-1.
14:22And now Nigeria a breathing space from Tanzania.
14:28I love Nigeria.
14:30Don't you believe it?
14:33When they're in this form.
14:37Good ball in from one substitute.
14:39That's a great first touch.
14:41And a tidy finish by Arokodare.
14:44Set up by another substitute, Uzo Moses.
14:48A double substitution.
14:50At the start of the second half.
14:52Really paying dividends.
14:57First touch.
14:59Dead enough.
15:03Tanzania.
15:06On the ropes here.
15:10Momboa came on.
15:12That's a striker.
15:16Lovely through ball slotted in.
15:18Another corner kick to Nigeria.
15:27Moses Simon.
15:29Takes the ball in.
15:30Surely!
15:31Oh!
15:32What was he thinking?
15:34Acor Adams with a goal.
15:40And...
15:45Nice through ball.
15:46Flag.
15:48Initially stayed down.
15:49Now it's gone up.
15:58Another good interception.
16:00At least they're keeping their wits sharp.
16:06If they were to get a goal now, Tanzania.
16:08That would change the complexion of the game.
16:11And yet they might.
16:12Onto his left foot.
16:13Deflected.
16:15Corner kick.
16:17Nobody there.
16:19Uzo.
16:22Over the halfway line.
16:23Come the Super Eagles.
16:25Chance to kill the game.
16:27Adams.
16:28Still with the striker.
16:31Missile's gone.
16:37Offside, you imagine.
16:40There.
16:41That's tight.
16:44Probably the right decision.
16:45Not the best angle.
16:53There's the dummy.
16:54The Suva.
16:55Free kicks.
16:56Deflected.
16:57Off for a corner.
16:57Off for a corner.
16:59And the same player.
17:00And the same player.
17:01Has gone over to take it.
17:02Taken quickly.
17:03And short.
17:04Whipped in.
17:05Oh.
17:06Goalkeeper in no man's land.
17:09Didn't get contact with the ball.
17:12Spot of cramp.
17:18The man has gone down.
17:21It's Tanzania's.
17:24Richard Ligo.
17:26Good ball in.
17:29By the substitute.
17:31Momboa.
17:32Right back.
17:33For Tanzania.
17:39Short.
17:40Snapped up.
17:41By Tanzania.
17:42Short.
17:42Now.
17:42Can they pull the goal back?
17:44Short.
17:44Straight at the goalkeeper.
17:46Easy save for Nuwabali.
17:48Dare it.
17:50He's on a hat-trick.
17:52He will be.
17:56Cutting inside.
17:58Here is a Rokudori for the hat-trick.
18:00Great save by the goalkeeper.
18:02And tidy defending.
18:03Made it look good.
18:04Confirmation of four-minute stoppage time.
18:06That's a great cross-field diagonal pass by Tanzania.
18:10Can they get at least a consolation goal?
18:15Nicely worked.
18:16Thought about the shot.
18:18Maybe you should have hit it first time.
18:21But the captain, Ndidi.
18:23And the race is on.
18:24And look at this.
18:26Brilliant sprinting.
18:29Cuts inside.
18:30Into the penalty area.
18:31Well, he beat one.
18:33But not two.
18:34Didi Wobi.
18:36He's running back again.
18:39Another chance.
18:41Nearly spilled the ball.
18:42Did Manula.
18:44But recovered well.
18:46For this.
18:53That's Uzo.
18:56Tricky winger.
19:01Nice pull back.
19:06And it won't be his kick.
19:12And Ndidi Bashiru.
19:14Was as surprised as the rest of us.
19:16And there is the final whistle.
19:19From the referee.
19:20Jean-Jacques Ngambo.
19:21Here.
19:22In Nigeria.
19:23At the God's will.
19:25At Pabio International Stadium.
19:27Final score.
19:28Nigeria three.
19:29Tanzania one.
19:30Five.
19:33Massive victory.
19:34So,
19:35Two.
19:41Also.
19:42One.
19:43Three
