2026 WCQ: Rwanda, Zimbabwe play goalless draw

161

In the kickoff match of Group C during the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers on Wednesday, Zimbabwe and Rwanda faced off in a goalless draw.

This particular game held substantial importance for Zimbabwe, representing the Warriors’ return to competitive play since the FIFA ban was lifted in July.

Despite numerous opportunities, both teams displayed wastefulness in front of goal, leaving several chances unconverted.

If the Super Eagles of Nigeria secure a victory against Lesotho on Thursday at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, the outcome will work to their advantage.

Meanwhile, the Warriors of Zimbabwe are redirecting their attention to Sunday’s match against Nigeria at the Huye Stadium in Butare.
