Esther Okoronkwo scored the winning goal as the Super Falcons defeated Tanzania 2-1 in a friendly encounter in Casablanca on Friday night.
Captain Rasheedat Ajibade gave the African champions the lead in the 14th minute, with Rinsola Babajide providing the assist.
The Super Falcons failed to double their advantage despite creating more chances before the interval.
Head coach Justine Madugu made four changes after the break, with the quartet of Folashade Ijamilusi, Uchenna Kanu, Michelle Alozie, and Joy Omewa replacing Glory Ogbonna, Toni Payne, Rinsola Babajide, and Asisat Oshoala.
Despite the Super Falcons’ dominance, Tanzania equalised 11 minutes from time.
Okoronkwo, however, restored Nigeria’s lead one minute from time.
The Super Falcons will head to Rabat for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations on Friday.
The West Africans will begin their title defence against the Scorchers of Malawi at the Al Madina Stadium, Rabat, next Tuesday.
