The experienced centre-back nodded home from close range after McKenzie Arnold nodded Asisat Oshoala’s header into her path.

It was the 31-year-old’s second-ever goal for the nine-time African champions.

The defender has made 31 appearances for the Super Falcons.

Interestingly, shot-stopper Chiamaka Nnadozie claimed the award in Super Falcons’ first game against Canada.
