Super Falcons Defeat Cameroon To Reach Olympics Qualifiers Final Round

The Super Falcons are through to the final round of the qualifiers for the women’s football event at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

Nigeria defeated the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon 1-0 at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abuja to go through on 1-0 aggregate after a 0-0 draw in Cameroon last week.

Esther Okoronkwo scored the only goal of the match in the 14th minute by being at the right place to tap home the ball from the near post after a run into the box by Jennifer Echegini.
