Oshoala’s entrance in the 63rd minute, reuniting a playmaking duo that hadn't yet played together in this tournament, helped Nigeria to 3-1 lead within nine minutes. Ajibade and Oshoala "are needed on the team, and I think they showed that tonight,” said Uchenna Kanu, who scored Nigeria’s opening goal late in first-half stoppage time.
