Goals from Adebisi Saheed and Monday Gift in each half and then an own goal completed a comfortable win for the Nigerian girls.
The team will continue their preparation for the World Cup in Austria with another test game at their training base in Tirol.

The Falconets have played in the World Cup final twice, in 2012 and 2014.
