Niger celebrated a historic milestone on Tuesday afternoon, claiming their first-ever victory over Tanzania with a 1-0 win in their latest CAF FIFA World Cup qualifying match at the Amaan Stadium in Zanzibar City.
The opening minutes were marked by enterprising football from both sides, as each team created promising scoring opportunities. Early possession was evenly distributed, and fans roared with excitement as Tanzania and Niger pressed forward with intent.
Midway through the first half, Niger displayed growing confidence in possession but struggled to convert their advances into goals. Tanzania, meanwhile, frequently attempted to exploit counter-attacking opportunities. Despite several promising moments, the first half ended goalless, with the score at 0-0.
After the break, Niger increased their attacking intensity and started asserting themselves in the final third. Their persistence paid off in the 58th minute, when Daniel Sosah struck to give Niger the lead.
The match grew tense late on as Niger was reduced to ten men in the 79th minute, following a second yellow card for Boureima Katakore. Tanzania pushed hard to equalize, but Niger’s disciplined defense repeatedly repelled their attacks.
In the end, Niger held on for a memorable 1-0 victory, marking a historic achievement for the team in Zanzibar City.
