The Super Falcons of Nigeria extended their non-appearance at the Olympic Games soccer event for the third time after crashing out to visiting Côte d’Ivoire in the second leg qualifying match played at Agege Stadium in Lagos yesterday.
On the back of impressive goalless first-leg draw in Abidjan, the teams played out a 1-1 draw in Lagos to see Christopher Danjuma’s side bow out of the qualifiers at the same stage as four years ago.
The visitors set the tone of what is to come with an early charge on their host and as early as the fourth minute they almost scored a goal but defensive net work out the Super Falcons were able to check the onslaught.
