Goalflashes and major incidents (all times GMT):
1948: Full-time Nigeria 2-0 Zimbabwe
Nigeria substitute John Mikel Obi made one and scored the other as the Super Eagles ensured they have a 100% record of six points after two games - though they are not yet certain of qualifying.
Unfancied Zimbabwe played well and deserved at least a goal but have nothing to show from their opening two games.
1945: The impressive Vincent Enyeama saves from Peter Ndlovu.
1940: Vincent Enyeama makes another superb save, this time stopping Benjani Mwaruwari from pulling a goal back with a well-struck shot on the turn.
1935: Zimbabwe are trying to force their way back into the match but the two quick Nigerian goals have really taken the sting out of what was a tight match. Peter Ndlovu comes on for Shingirai Kawondera.
1925: Benjani Mwaruwari shoots from distance, but Vincent Enyeama easily saves. The Nigeria keeper makes a much more impressive save shortly afterwards, tipping a Cephas Chimedza strike over the crossbar.
1919: Nigeria are in total control and Nwankwo Kanu drills the ball narrowly wide from a tight angle. Shingirai Kawondera responds. He shoots twice in as many minutes for Zimbabwe at the other end but both strikes are too close to the keeper.
1915: GOAL Nigeria 2-0 Zimbabwe
John Mikel Obi is not closed down 20 metres from goal and picks his spot before drilling the ball past Gift Muzadzi.
1912: GOAL Nigeria 1-0 Zimbabwe
Christian Obodo scores with a header from 10 yards after a corner from John Mikel Obi. The substitutes have had an immediate impact.
1911: Nwankwo Kanu goes down under a challenge from Edelbert Dinha but a penalty is not given.
1908: Tinashe Nengomasha shoots wide from distance for Zimbabwe. Nigeria introduce John Obi Mikel and Nwankwo Kanu for Wilson Oruma and Julius Aghahowa. Clearly coach Austin Eguavoen is not happy with his side.
1903: Obefami Martins runs menacingly at the Zimbabwe defence but is thwarted by a brilliant tackle from James Matola.
1900: The match restarts and Zimbabwe almost score but Chidi Odian makes a crucial interception for Nigeria.
1845: Half-time Nigeria 0-0 Zimbabwe
An even first-half comes to an end. There has been very few chances and little to choose between the two teams.
1837: Unfancied Zimbabwe have played very well so far, enjoying lengthy spells of possession, with Joel Lupahla catching the eye.
1831: Taye Taiwo, who scored Nigeria's winner against Ghana, unleashes a shot of incredible force but it is wide of the target.
1829: Wilson Oruma brilliantly dinks the ball over Edelbert Dinha, collects it and forces Gift Muzadzi into a decent save with a 20-yard strike.
1826: Joel Lupahla hits the ball first time from 20 yards and has Nigeria keeper Vincent Enyeama scrambling. Fortunately for the Super Eagles the ball drifts wide.
1824: Edelbert Dinha makes a physical challenge on Christian Obodo, wrapping his legs around the Super Eagles' midfielder, but Nigeria's penalty appeals fall on deaf ears.
1820: A searching pass and the rapier fast Obafemi Martins is almost through, but he is denied by a superb block from Zvenyika Makonese. Zimbabwe break with Benjani Mwaruwari down the right but his cross is cut out before it reaches and unmarked Shingirai Kawondera in the centre.
1816: The match is being played largely in the middle third of the pitch, with defences on top at the moment.
1810: Zimbabwe's Esrom Nyandoro tries his luck from long range, but smashes his 30-metre shot way over the crossbar.
1806: Nigeria win a corner, but Zimbabwe manage to clear the danger. It has been quite a low-key start, though the band in the stand are in fine form.
1758: The match starts with Nigeria in Green and Zimbabwe in white.
1750: Nigeria captain Jay-Jay Okocha and some officials have taken up their seats in the stand next to the press area. Okocha is still recovering from a thigh strain which ruled him out of the 1-0 win over Ghana.
1745: Both teams disappear back into their respective dressing rooms after completing their pre-match exercises.
1730 GMT: Both Nigeria and Zimbabwe make one change from their opening games. The Super Eagles leave out Osaze Odemwingie and bring in John Utaka, while the Warriors replace the experienced Peter Ndlovu with Joel Lupahla.
