2028 Olympic Qualifier: Super Falcons Overcome Comoros 2-0 In First Leg

Second half goals from Michelle Alozie and Uchenna Kanu secured a 2-0 away win for Nigeria’s Super Falcons in the first leg, second round of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic qualifier at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, Ogun State on Friday.

After holding out to a goalless first half, Comoros resolve was finally broken as Alozie opened the scoring after slotting home a headed assist from close range.

Then Kanu doubled the lead as she headed home a well floated corner kick.

Despite playing the first leg in Ikenne, Comoros were the home team as they do not have a CAF approved stadium for the encounter.

The second leg comes up on Tuesday, 13 October in the same venue with the winner over the two legs progressing to the thurd round where they will face either Morocco or DR Congo.

While the Super Falcons got a bye to the second round, Comoros reached this stage after thrashing Sudan 30-0 on aggregate (17-0 and 13-0) in the first round.
