Nigeria’s Super Falcons have secured a spot in the final round of qualifiers for the women’s football event at the 2024 Olympics by defeating Cameroon 1-0 on aggregate in the third round of qualifiers for the quadrennial games.
The Falcons played a goalless draw at the Stade de la Réunification, Douala, on Friday, but managed to score a crucial goal against the Cameroonians at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja on Monday.
An early goal from Esther Okoronkwo proved to be the deciding factor in a closely contested match.
The Cameroonians pushed forward, creating opportunities to tie the game and win it on the road, but Nigeria’s Chiamaka Nnadozie made some crucial stops.
