That goal was enough for the Super Falcons to pick one of Africa’s tickets for the women’s football event of the Paris Olympics as the second leg tie ended goaless in South Africa.
Both teams have played several times since their 7-1 win against South Africa in a 1995 World Cup qualifier in Johannesburg.
They have met 24 times with Nigeria winning 15, five ended in draws and South Africa claimed victory four times.
