The Flamingos had last week defeated the Bantwana 3-1 in the first leg of the clash in South Africa, before completing the demolition in the second leg, as the Nigerians soared to the final phase of the qualification race with a whooping 5-1 aggregate victory.
The game produced no goal after the early exchanges.
But two-goal heroine in the first leg, Harmony Chidi coolly nodded home from an acute angle in the 37th minute of the encounter, to compound the woes of the visitors.
Shakirat Moshood, who scored a goal in the first leg, was the provider from a well-taken free kick on the right.
She turned provider again 11 minutes into the second half when she found Aishat Animashaun, who lifted the ball over and above Samekelise Mthembu into the net for Nigeria’s second.
With the victory, Nigeria will square off against the winner between Botswana and Algeria in the final round of qualification
