The Lady Elephants trounced their rivals from Niger Republic 20-0, with 9-0 in the first leg and 11-0 in the second.
That said, the Super Falcons and the officials of the team have been having sleepless night in preparation for the Friday’s battle, the Guardian can confirm.
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Football Federation NFF, is also contributing its own part by recruiting more technical officials and players to ensure that the Falcons emerge victors on Friday.
The Falcons will however, hope to take revenge of the 2019 disappointment in next week’s contest.
