Cameroon pulled off a tremendous upset as they defeated
Nigeria 4-3 on penalties after they had finished 3-3 on aggregate in their
qualifying tie for next year's Women's Olympic Football Tournament in London.
The Cameroonians clinched a 2-1 victory in the second leg,
while Nigeria had edged their opponents by the same score line in the first
leg. Faith Ikidi missed Nigeria’s final attempt, sealing Cameroon’s place at
next year’s Olympic Games and condemning Nigeria to their first absence from an
Olympic tournament since Sydney 2000.
