The two teams, arguably the best women football squads on the African continent, are at each other’s jugular for one of the two tickets from Africa for Paris 2024 Olympics women’s football.
Saudi Arabia-based defender Ashley Plumptre and veteran rearguard Osinachi Ohale are also called, as well as youthful midfielder Deborah Abiodun, and forwards Esther Okoronkwo and Uchenna Kanu.
Uchenna Kanu opened the scoring just before halftime, capitalising on a well-executed counterattack. The second half saw Ajibade doubling the lead after five minutes, connecting with an excellent cross from Asisat Oshoala.
