After conceding in the 7th minute of the encounter, the Flying Eagles went on to dominate all proceedings, before striker Abdullahi missed a penalty kick in the 86th minute after a VAR check.
Despite Gambia playing the last six minutes with a man down, Nigeria could not break her defence which had not conceded a goal in the tournament.
Despite the defeat, Nigeria will still be in Egypt with the Flying Eagles having a chance to settle for a bronze medal when the squad faces Tunisia also crashed out in the semi final
