Okwuchukwu proped up Amina Bello to score the opener in the 16th minute and Alani got Chiamaka Okwuchukwu who shoved in the 2nd goal in the 28th minute. Chuamaka's goal was her second in the tournament as she scored Nigeria's only goal against Germany in the 1-3 loss in the 88th minute.

Flourish Sebastine got Nigeria's 3rd goal in the 45 +5th minute. It was her lone strike that sank South Korea in Nigeria's 1-0 victory over the Asian country.

Just as the Nigerian bench was warming up for the victory parade, Ajakaye got Joy Igbokwe who came in for Flourish Sebastiane in 88th minute to top up Nigeria's goal for the night at the 90+4th minute.
