The Portuguese took a 2-0 lead through an own goal by Chidinma Okeke and Carole Costa’s strike from a free kick in the 22nd and 34th minute of play respectively.
The Franscisco Neto’s girls then continued to dominate the game at the
BBVA Stadium in Houston in the early hours of Monday and it appeared as though they would stroll to an easy three points over their Nigerian opponents.
Michelle Alozie, however, scored for the Randy Waldrum girls before the end of the first half to keep the scoreline at 2-1 at halftime.

Falcons’ American coach then brought on Glory Ogbonna and Amarachi Okoronkwo for Salome Zogg and Ifeoma Onumonu in the second half.
Rivers Angels have recorded their first win at the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL) Premiership Super 6 with a 4-0 thrashing of rivals, Bayelsa Queens at the Dipo Dina International Stadium in Ijebu-Ode.
Both sides ended the first half goalless but the New Vision Girls improved in the second half and their opponents could not withstand the pressure they brought.
The pressure paid off in the 60th minute when Amarachi Okoronkwo’s freekick from outside the box hit the woodwork but Saiki Mary was quick enough to convert the rebound.
Just before the Jewel of Rivers would finish celebrating the first goal, Vivian Ikechukwu doubled their lead in the 61st minute with a brilliant pull out from the far left leaving Rita Akarekor helpless.
