A clash of epic proportion has been set up as Nigeria’s Super Falcons will play against African champions, Banyana Banyana of South Africa for one of the two African tickets for the women’s football event of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Banyana Banyana, reigning African champions on Tuesday night beat rejuvenated Tanzania team 1-0 at Mbombela Stadium, Nelspruit to get a 4-0 aggregate scoreline.
It was not a stroll in the pack for South Africa as expected following an earlier 3-0 away win last Friday. Thembi Kgatlana, skipper of the side, got them the only goal of the second leg in the 58th minute.
Nigeria had on Monday beaten Cameroon 1-0 in Abuja after a 0-0 scoreline in Douala on Friday.
Nigeria will host the first leg on April 1 while the return leg will hold in South Africa on April 9.
