This match was played on Friday at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.
Falcons’ chief coach Randy Waldrum had promised a win, adding that he was unperturbed by the opposition’s track record.
Super Falcons are seeking a 12th consecutive appearance at the WAFCON, since their first qualification at the debut event in 1998 in Nigeria.

Nigeria’s only triumph over the Ivorians in their last five ties was through a penalty kicks shootout.
