Nigeria defeated Zimbabwe 2–0 in an International Friendly on 26 May 2026, with the Super Eagles operating in a 4–3–3 formation against Zimbabwe's 3–4–3 setup. The match lacked detailed statistical documentation, with neither side's shot data recorded in full, though Nigeria's two-goal margin reflects their control throughout the encounter. The absence of named goalscorers in the available records limits narrative detail, yet the clean sheet underscores Nigeria's defensive solidity. This friendly served as useful preparation for Nigeria's competitive calendar ahead.
