Match report
There was little to choose between the sides in the first half of the women’s game, stand off Rukaykat Akinade opening the scoring for Nigeria on the end of a fine passing move, Blessing Aladeyely with the first of her two tries soon after the only other points of a competitive opening forty minutes.
Winger Iyoha crossed in the first minute of the second period with a 60 metre dash, Abiola Obazuaye with a further two tries for the Green Falcons sandwiching Ghana’s sole touchdown from Magaret Tuffour. Iyoha posted two breakaway tries in as many minutes late on to extend the margin of victory.
