Osinachi Ohale made it 2-1 in the 65th minute and substitute Asisat Oshoala scored another goal for the Super Falcons of Nigeria in the 72nd minute to make it 3-1 before Alanna Kennedy scored the last goal of the game in the 90th minute to end the match 3-2.

The Barcelona Women's football club star will now be looking forward to returning to the Super Falcons of Nigeria's first eleven when they play their next game against the Republic of Ireland Women's national team in few days time.
