Toni Payne set up the left-back, but her effort went off target.

Nigeria continued piling pressure on the Botswana defence, and almost took the lead through Payne nine minutes before the break, but the Everton midfielder failed to direct her shot on target.

Super Falcons head coach, Justine Madugu made three substitutions after the break with Esther Okoronkwo, Christy Ucheibe, and Ihezuo replacing Asisat Oshoala, Payne, and Babajide.

Nigeria struggled to breakdown the Mares defence with Jennifer Echegini coming close 12 minutes from time.

The breakthrough came on the dot of 90 minutes, with Ihezuo sliding home Okoronkwo’s cross.
