TANZANIA 0-0 NIGERIA: IKEME’S HEROICS RESCUES POINT FOR SUPER EAGLES




The Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper was in superb form on his international debut as the Eagles failed to soar in Dar es Salam

Tanzania held Nigeria to a 0-0 draw in Saturday’s 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier played at the Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium, Dar-es-Salaam.


There was no separating the two sides in 90 minutes, with the impressive Carl Ikeme who made his Super Eagles’ debut on several occasions denying the Taifa Stars a chance to take maximum points.

The towering Wolverhampton Wanderer shot stopper’s best moment was an amazing save in the 67th minute when he denied Thomas Ulimwengu with a long stretch before scrambling to Mrisho Ngassa’s follow-up around the post, with both shots coming from inside the six-yard box.

Without leading lights Odion Ighalo, Victor Moses and Gbolahan Salami, Sunday Oliseh’s men failed to break down Boniface Mkwasa’s well-drilled hosts who were fuelled by a scanty crowd that generated a tremendous atmosphere.
