Nigeria’s Super Falcons defeated Ethiopia 4-0 in the second leg, second round of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games qualifiers on Tuesday at the MKO Abiola stadium in Abuja.

Rasheedat Ajibade scored two goals while Asisat Oshoala and Uchenna Kanu each scored a goal.

The Falcons qualified 5-1 on aggregate after last week’s first leg in Addis Ababa ended 1-1.

Kanu gave the Falcons the lead in one minute of added time in the first half.

In the 50th minute Ajibade made it 2-0 off an assist from Oshoala.

Oshoala made it 3-0 in the 68th minute before Ajibade got her second goal and the Falcons’ fourth in the 72nd minute.

The Falcons will now meet Cameroon or Uganda in the third round of the qualifiers.

The last time the Falcons participated in the Olympics was at Beijing 2008.

Since the 2008 edition, they have failed to qualify for three consecutive Olympic Games.
