A Folashade Ijamilusi's hat-trick and Gift Monday's header ensured Super Falcons get a 4-1 emphatic win over Wafcon-bound Algeria at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan.

Ijamilusi started the onslaught on 12 minute before scoring the second 7 minutes later.

On the 39th minute, the visitors had an opportunity to reduce the deficit, but a missed a penalty meant the score remained 2-0.

3 minutes to the end of the first half, the Green Ladies pulled one back, but Gift Monday scored to restore Nigeria's 2-goal lead before the end of half time.

The Nigerian Ladies started like a house on fire in the second half as Monday almost scored her second and Nigeria's fourth of the day, but her effort ricocheted the crossbar 3 minutes after the start of the half.
