Nigeria’s women national team arrived Abuja alongside Senegal on Saturday afternoon for the second leg, final qualifying round of the 2016 African Women’s Cup of Nations slated for next Tuesday, April 12.

On Friday, the Super Falcons were held to a 1-1 draw against Senegal at the Stade Demba Diop in the first leg encounter in Dakar.

Goal learnt that Falcons and opponents departed Dakar simultaneously at the wee hours of Saturday and landed in Lagos at about 8am.

Both boarded Arik Air flight which departed Lagos by 1pm and landed Abuja at about 2:30pm on Saturday.

The Nigerian side would be hoping to put behind the goring experience encountered in Dakar by putting the Bassouare Diaby’s ladies to the sword at the National Stadium, Abuja.

While visiting the Senegalese women will dream upstaging the reigning champions to pick a continental ticket to Cameroon.

Sweden based striker Desire Oparanozie who was substituted during the game is likely to miss the crucial encounter following a serious injury to her head.

Victory for the coach Florence Omagbemi’s side next Tuesday will guarantee the country a place at the continental showpiece scheduled to hold from November 19 to December 3.
