See what Nnadozie has to say about the Super Falcons chances of beating the Banyana Banyana of South Africa.

As the team prepares to take on the Banyana Banyana of South Africa in Pretoria on Tuesday night, Goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has given her thoughts on what needs to be done for the Super Falcons to secure a spot in the Women's Olympic Football Tournament in France.

Nigeria defeated the visitors by a single goal thanks to a penalty kick by Ajibade on Friday in the first leg in Abuja.

However, there is still everything to play for in the return match in the administrative capital of South Africa.

She said, “The Super Falcons are used to big battles. This one will not be any different.

"Australia were playing in their home ground at the World Cup but we defeated them.”

After the game on Friday, the Banyana rejoiced over their little deficit, but Nnadozie stated that the Super Falcons would give it their all inside the 51,000-seat Loftus Versfeld Stadium.

The goalie was alluding to the FIFA Women's World Cup finals from the previous year, in which the Falcons defeated the Matildas 3-2 in front of their home crowd in Brisbane, securing their place in the tournament's Round of 16.

More than two years ago, in a Women Africa Cup of Nations final qualifying match in Abidjan, the Falcons defeated the hosts, Cote d'Ivoire, 1-0. Nnadozie also started in goal during these away games during the qualifying series, winning a 1-1 draw in Addis Ababa and a 0-0 draw in Douala.
