Nigeria 1-0 Algeria [3-0 agg]: Oshoala scores as Super Falcons advance in Olympic Games qualifiers

The Nigeria women's team defeated Algeria 1-0 in the second leg to advance to the third round of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games qualifiers on Tuesday.

The Super Falcons took a 2-0 first-leg lead in Bilda and they managed another goal to progress 3-0 on aggregate at the Agege Stadium.

Thomas Dennerby's ladies changed half of his starters from the game in Algeria, and the Swede handed starting roles to the arriving six foreign players.

The hosts started on a high but the Asisat Oshoala-led attack could not break the Algerians' defence in the opening 15 minutes.
