Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games Qualifiers: Super Falcons Crash Out On Away Goals Rule

Nigeria's senior women's football team, Super Falcons will miss the Olympic Games for the third time in a row after losing on away goals to Cote d'Ivoire in Lagos on Monday.
On the back of a goalless first-leg draw in Abidjan, the teams played out a 1-1 draw in Lagos to see Christopher Danjuma's side bow out of the qualifiers at the same stage as four years ago.
The guests scored in the 12th minute as a free-kick by Kapho Nana beat goalkeeper Nnadozie.
Ange N'guessan went close to doubling the advantage for the Ivorian side but Asisat Oshoala restored parity for Nigeria in the 34th minute when she latched onto a through pass.
In the return leg, Christopher Danjuma made three changes to the side that started at Parc des Sports, Treichville, with Gift Monday, Rasheedat Ajibade and Ngozi Ebere earning starting places.
