Both teams began cautiously, trading possession without creating clear scoring opportunities in the early stages.
The Super Falcons gradually grew into the game, enjoying longer spells of control but struggling to break down Cameroon's organized defensive structure.
The first half ended goalless after a tightly contested opening period.
The second half followed a similar pattern, with Nigeria continuing to press forward in search of a breakthrough.
Madugu introduced attacking changes in the 64th minute, replacing Ngozi Okobi and Omorinsola Babajide with debutant Christopher and Folashade Ijamilusi to add pace and creativity in the final third.
