After falling to Morocco 5-4 on penalties in this year's Women's Africa Cup of Nations semifinal, Nigeria will not participate in the championship game.
The Super Falcons entered the semifinal matchup in search of a record-extending 10th championship, but they would have to wait a little longer.
After Halimatu Ayinde was given a straight card for a stamp following a VAR review, Randy Waldrum's women were reduced to 10 men.
Uchenna Kanu, however, gave Nigeria the advantage by responding swiftest to a rebound inside the area.
Ten minutes later, the home team equalised when Chiamaka Nnadozie mishandled a cross and Sanaa Mssoudy tapped in the loose ball.
After yet another VAR review, Rasheedat Ajibade was also dismissed for the Falcons.
Onumonu was the only participant in the shootout to miss her penalty, which allowed Morocco to advance to face South Africa in the championship game.
