The Super Falcons made the second leg of their 2028 Olympic qualifier look routine in Ikenne, turning a 2-0 first-leg lead into a 5-0 win over Comoros at the Remo Stars Stadium, Footynaija.com reports.
Augustine Eguavoen kept the same starting side that beat the Coelacanths on Friday. Toni Payne, the Inter Milan midfielder, scored twice, Uchenna Kanu added a brace of her own, and Christy Ucheibe converted a penalty.
The 7-0 aggregate sends Nigeria through to a third-round tie with Morocco. Both legs were played in Ikenne because Comoros have no CAF-approved stadium.
