Nigeria dominated the first-half and coach Peter Dedevbo will be wondering how his side came in at the break without a goal to their name. Canada's Amandine Pierre-Louise's one-on-one with Gift Andy was all that broke the early pressure.
However the Nigerian onslaught continued as they hit the woodwork three times before the break. Chinwendu Ihezuo rattled the bar with a header after a short-corner routine, before Jiroro Ideke’s inswinging corner left Kailen Sheridan flapping as it cannoned off the bar again.
But Chidinma Edeji arguably had the best chance of the lot, arriving late onto a loose ball four yards out, hammering a shot onto the upright with Sheridan helpless. The trend continued after half-time, with Ihezuo hitting the post with another header, before Adeboyejo forced Sheridan into a full-length save.
Then came the hammer blow. Substitute Nichelle Prince slipped in the lively Pierre-Louise, who charged into the area and fired ferociously past Andy.
Nigeria looked stunned, and were less fruitful in the following minutes, however they regrouped to once again look the better side.
The African side spurned further chances, but they eventually got the goal that they had been trying so hard for. Adeboyejo's cross from the left was blocked, but played in the reboundand to see Ihezuo volley home the goal she richly deserved.
They then pushed for a winner, but ultimately had to be content with a point.
