The dominant performance saw the Falcons score five unanswered goals, underscoring their attacking strength and defensive solidity against the island nation.
However, the triumph was tempered by an injury to team captain Rasheedat Ajibade, who was forced to leave the field after sustaining the setback during the game.
Despite the loss of their skipper, the result guarantees Nigeria’s continuation in the Olympic qualification process, keeping their hopes alive for a place at the upcoming Games.
The Super Falcons are one of Africa’s most successful women’s football sides, and the victory adds to Nigeria’s reputation as a powerhouse in the continent’s football landscape.
