The emphatic win gave the 10-time African champions a 7-0 aggregate triumph, having secured a 2-0 advantage in the first leg.
Toni Payne and Uchenna Kanu were the standout performers, scoring twice each to lead Nigeria’s attacking charge, while Christy Ucheibe also got on the scoresheet with a confidently converted penalty.
The Super Falcons dominated the encounter, repeatedly exposing Comoros’ defensive weaknesses as they strengthened their bid to qualify for the 2028 Olympic Games.
However, the victory was overshadowed by an injury concern involving captain Rasheedat Ajibade, who was forced off during the match. Her withdrawal raised concerns for the Nigerian technical crew, with more challenging fixtures ahead in the qualifying campaign.
Folashade Ijamilusi came on as Ajibade’s replacement and made an immediate contribution, while fellow substitute Blessing Okpe also brought added energy to Nigeria’s forward line as the hosts maintained their control of the contest.
The result confirms Nigeria’s progression to the third round, where they will face Morocco in what is expected to be a challenging encounter.
With their commanding performance against Comoros, the Super Falcons have taken another step towards securing a place at the 2028 Olympic Games.
