Team captain Onome Ebi headed the Super Falcons in front after 34 minutes at the Mardan Sports Complex.

 

Her goal had turned the game around after the Football Ferns had put some pressure on the Nigerian defence in the first quarter of the hour.

 

Spain-based forward Rasheedat Ajibade had missed narrowly with a left-footed shot in the 21st minute.

 

But there was no stopping the inspired Ebi 13 minutes later as she nodded in a cross by Toni Payne.

 

Jennifer Echegini, playing on the left side of the Nigerian defence, extended the Super Falcons’ lead in the 48th minute after some excellent wing play by Michelle Alozie.
