The Super Falcons recorded a 2-0 victory over South Korea – which was their only win of the tournament but was safe to power the West Africans to the Round of 16 for the first time since 1999.
Having been bounced out by Germany last summer, African champions will celebrate their international victory via the fan poll over the European giants and two-time world champions.
