The Super Eagles of Nigeria, once again gave away a one-goal lead, to draw 1-1 against the Chipolopolo of Zambia on Friday.
Nigeria should have gone ahead after Ahmed Musa was felled in the area, but Mikel Obi missed from the spot, as the first half ended goalless.
The Super Eagles stepped it up in the second half and were rewarded, after Obi won a tackle and slid in Emmanuel Emenike. The striker took one touch and buried his effort past Kennedy Mweene.
Both teams will now wait till their last group games to find out their fate in the tournament.
