The nine-time African champions had a goalless draw in the first leg away in Abidjan on Thursday.
The away goal rule was key to the Ivorians booking their place in the Olympics final qualification series.
Nina Kapho of Cote D’Ivoire got the visitors ahead in the 12th minute of play.
In the 34th minute, Asisat Oshoala got the Falcons back into the game.
All efforts by the Christopher Danjuma’s side to score the winning goal was thwarted by the Ivorians.
