Three minutes into the regulation time, the Falconets’ efforts paid off, with Flourish Sabastine who caused the Nigerians girls the first goal, lashed onto a loose ball from the Ghanaian goalkeeper who had been fantastic prior to that moment, to give Nigeria an equalizer late minutes into the game.

The match ended 1-1 after ninety minutes, and the winner was decided by penalty shootouts.
