2026 WCQ: Dont Blame Uzoho For Zimbabwes Goal Emeka Amadi

Former Nigeria international Emeka Amadi has absorbed Super Eagles goalkeeper Francis Uzoho of any blame for Zimbabwes goal in Sundays 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier in Rwanda.

Uzoho once again came under heavy criticism after conceding from a long range free-kick in the first half.

The embattled goalkeeper almost gifted Zimbabwe a second goal late in the game after fumbling a cross luckily the error was not punished.

But Amadi has come out to defend Uzoho, posting the goal he conceded would beat any goalkeeper.

It is the the fault of Francis Uzoho the free-kick was well taken, the 1989 FIFA U-20 World Cup silver medal winner said on Brila FM.

The effort came from a place where no goalkeeper can save it, the ball swerved from in to out so it is hard for a keeper to make a save. So for me that ball can beat any goalkeeper.
