Super Falcons 1-0 victory over Algeria made them advance to the third round of the 2020 Olympics.

It was a hard-fought victory for the Falcons, who won the first leg 2-0 in Blida, but coach, Thomas Dennerby opted for a more conservative approach, which put the team on the back foot as they failed to create any clear cut chance in the first 45 minutes.

With Algeria knowing that they had to score twice to at least have any chance of going through, they threw everything at the Falcons but were unable to threaten Oluechi Tochukwu, in goal for the Falcons.

But Nigeria started the second half the better side, creating chances. Norway-based forward Rasheedat Ajibade had a goal disallowed for offside as the home side piled on the pressure.

Nigeria then grabbed the only goal of the encounter in the 57th minute when Oshoala picked up a loose ball from the midfield and made a superb solo run, dribbling past three defenders, before coolly slotting past the Algerian keeper. Giving the super falcons a 3-0 aggregate win.
