The Super Falcons started the game strongly but were unable to carve out any clear-cut goal scoring opportunities.
The Super Falcons were ahead seven minutes later with Kanu nodding home Francisca Ordega’s superb cross.
Kanu doubled Nigeria’s lead three minutes later, nodding home this time from a corner kick.
