SUPER Falcons fumbled in Bata on Sunday as they crashed out
of the race for the Women’s Football Tournament of the 2016
Olympics losing 2-1 to Equatorial Guinea.
Midfielder Ngozi Okobi put Nigeria ahead in the 12th minute,
but the Falcons then conceded the equalizer with only four minutes left, off a free -kick.
The Nigerian girls, who could only draw the first leg 1-1 in Abuja, were then caught off-guard in a goal-mouth scramble with only eight minutes left in extra time.
The result means Equatorial Guinea will play South Africa, while Cameroon face Cote d’Ivoire for the two tickets available to Africa for the Women’s Football Tournament of next year’s Olympics.
