The Nigerian ladies started brightly by dominating proceedings but threw away many scoring chances. After minutes of dominance, Asisat Oshoala opened scoring for the Falcons in the 37th minute with a volley inside the box.
Three minutes later, Desire Oparanozie who was the tormentor -in -chief of the hosts set up Asisat to put Super Falcons two goals up. It should have been more before interval but poor shooting denied the visitors a more comfortable lead.
Edwin Okon’s side made it three on resumption when captain Evelyn Nwabuoku found Esther Sunday who beat Rwanda goalkeeper with a low shot.
Rwanda pulled a goal back in the 65th minute when Clementine Mukamana's free kick beat Precious Dede in goal for Nigeria.
Stunned by the goal the Nigerian girls piled pressure on their hosts and Oparanozie was brought down inside the box and she rose to convert the resultant penalty kick for Falcons’ fourth goal in the match.
Rwanda travel to Nigeria for the return leg in a forth night.
