Nigeria’s revival began in the 63rd minute when Esther Okoronkwo calmly converted a penalty awarded after a VAR review.

In the 71st minute, Okoronkwo set up Folashade Ijamilusi, who scored to level the match.

The drama culminated in the 88th minute when Jennifer Echegini headed in a well-delivered free kick from Okoronkwo, sealing a 3–2 victory for Nigeria.
