Still goalless in Abidjan with 81mins played between the @NGSuper_Falcons and their Ivorian opponents.

Match behind closed doors (for some reason). Ivoriens outside the stadium.

Police vehicle in the background. They fired teargas soon after this photo was taken cos the fans got restless and wanted to get in.

89' and the @NGSuper_Falcons score to make it aggregate 3-0 in Abidjan.

Will confirm goalscorer later.

Esther Okoronkwo with the goal.

Into 5' of stoppage time.

A Nigerian and @NGSuper_Falcons fan in Abidjan, speaking about the victory today. In Yoruba. He was particular about Ashleigh Plumbtre at the back.

Apparently, they were initially not allowed into the stadium.
