By Saheed Afolabi

It will be a tale of winner takes all in the second leg of the Olympics qualifier between Nigeria and fierce rival Cameroon at the Moshood Abiola Stadium on Monday, February 26.

The first leg in Douala ended in a barren draw as both sides failed to break the deadlock in the keenly competed tie.

The absence of key players from the Cameroonian side in the first leg wasn’t felt by the home side who stood their ground.

The Indomitable Lioness and the Falcons were far from their best in the first leg to derive a drab draw.

Cameroon youngster, Lamine Manga will be a huge threat to the Falcons with her blistering pace and fantastic footwork.

The star studded Nigeria side have what it takes in their squad to eliminate Cameroon in the second leg in Abuja.

With a distinctive morale, the Super Falcons will be playing under intense pressure with the hopes of denying Cameroon any goal to avoid cumbersome moments on the pitch.

The last meeting ten meetings between both teams have recorded five wins for Nigeria, three wins for Cameroon and two draws.
