Super Eagles head coach, Eric Chelle, has said his team will not give up on their quest to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The three-time African champions suffered a major setback in their bid to reach the tournament after playing a 1-1 draw with South Africa in Bloemfontein on Tuesday night.
Nigeria remain in third position in Group B with 11 points from eight matches.
The Super Eagles will need to win their remaining two games against Lesotho and Benin Republic to stand a chance of securing the World Cup ticket.
Chelle insisted his players would keep fighting until the end despite the difficult situation.
“My players are professionals and I know they will still want to win the remaining two games.
“A lot can happen over the next one month. But before that, we will have to analyse our performance tonight, which will not be easy,” he said.
The Super Eagles will travel away to Lesotho when the qualifiers resume next month before rounding up their campaign at home against the Squirrels of Benin Republic.
