The Super Falcons defeated the Green Ladies of Algeria 4-1 at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena during the second leg of their international friendly contest.
Nigeria secured a 2-0 first leg victory last Tuesday at Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne.
Folashade Ijamilusi’s hat-trick was the highlight the afternoon, while Gift Monday added another goal to secure a second consecutive victory over the Green Ladies.
Ijamilusi opened the scoresheet in the 12th minute and doubled Nigeria’s lead seven minutes later.
Algeria had a chance to half the deficit but missed a penalty in the 39th minute, allowing Nigeria to maintain a two-goal advantage.
The Green Ladies later had their chance at goal through Alouache Ouassila in the 42nd minute following a rebound from the Nigerian goalie but Gift Monday restored the Falcons’ two-goal cushion with a brilliant finish just before halftime.
The second half began with Nigeria dictating the tone with Gift Monday nearly added a fourth in the 48th minute, only to be denied by the crossbar.
Ijamilusi scored her third goal in the 86th minute to complete an emphatic 4-1 victory for the Super Falcons.
