On resumption of the second half the Nigerians increased the tempo producing three goals thanks to, Francesca Ordega, Rashidat Ajibade and late substitute Amarachi Okoronkwo.

It was however not the best of days for Assisat Oshoala as she missed no fewer than four scoring chances.

The team will next take Equatorial Guinea on Saturday in the last group game
