Nigeria midfielder Okobi-Okeoghene scores as Eskilstuna United stun Uppsala

Nigeria midfielder Ngozi Okobi-Okeoghene was on target as Eskilstuna United recorded a 4-2 victory at Uppsala in Sunday's Swedish Damallsvenskan encounter at Studenternas IP.

Following a 3-1 victory against Orebro last week, Magnus Karlsson's side went into the showdown with the sole ambition to maintain their newly found winning mentality at Uppsala.

The 26-year-old Nigerian was handed her 12th start of the season following her fine display against Orebro in their last outing and she put up a good show along with compatriot Halimatu Ayinde.
