Three minutes later, Chidi completed her hat-trick with a calm finish, capping a brilliant first-half display.

Nigeria kept the tempo after halftime, and Mary Dunstan sealed victory in the 56th minute.

The result gives the Flamingos a strong advantage before next Saturday’s return leg in Ikenne-Remo, nearing Morocco 2026 qualification. (NAN)
