The Super Falcons dominated Algeria with a 4-1 victory in the second leg of their friendly match on Tuesday.

Folashade Ijamilusi led Nigeria’s success at Lagos’ Mobolaji Johnson Arena, scoring a hat-trick.

The Edo Queens star opened the scoring within 10 minutes and quickly added another goal in the 18th minute.

Algeria’s Alouache Ouassila managed to pull one back, but Gift Monday restored Nigeria’s lead just before halftime, securing a comfortable win for the Super Falcons.

Ijamilusi sealed her hat-trick just four minutes before the end of regular time.

This victory follows the Super Falcons’ earlier 2-0 win over the same team, bringing the aggregate score to 6-1.

Interim Coach Justin Madugu now celebrates back-to-back wins in his first two games since Randy Waldrum’s resignation.
