Asisat Oshoala was silenced as Nigeria forced Cote d'Ivoire to a 0-0 draw in Thursday's African Women's Olympic Qualifying encounter in Abidjan.
Having scored a goal to lead the Super Falcons past Algeria in September, the Nigeria international made her bow as the captain of the team under acting manager Christopher Danjuma.
However, she met with strong resistance from Clémentine Touré’s ladies as she failed to find the net despite boasting three shots at Parc des Sports, Treichville.
Ange N'Guessan came close in the early stages but could not fire past goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie in the opening 20 minutes.
