Chiamaka Nnadozie made two great saves in the second half to deny the Banyana Banyana who came out smoky in the second period.

The Super Falcons had the control of the game from the start cutting supply of balls to the Banyana Banyana key strikers like Thembi Kgatlana and Jermaine Seoposenwe.
Coach Randy Waldrum kept faith with the squad that started against the South African ladies in Abuja whilst Desiree Ellis made two changes to the stating line up.
