Tosin Rafiu opened the scoring in the seventh minute with a composed low left-footed finish after racing onto a pass.

Captain Christina Uzoma then produced a brilliant penalty save late in the first half to preserve the Africans’ advantage

The Falconets doubled their lead three minutes after the restart when Janet Akekoromowei fired home following a poor corner clearance by England’s defence.

Substitute Mary Mamudu completed the victory in the 72nd minute, slotting in Akekoromowei’s cutback.
