Super Eagles striker Tolu Arokodare has been named Player of the Match after scoring twice in Nigeria’s 3-1 victory over Tanzania in the 2027 AFCON qualifiers.

Alhassan Yusuf opened the scoring in the third minute before Tanzania equalised through Msanga in the 36th minute.

Arokodare, introduced after the break, restored Nigeria’s lead in the 52nd minute and completed his brace in the 68th minute.

The striker came close to securing a hat-trick but opted to set up Akor Adams, whose effort was blocked by a Tanzanian defender.
