Rasheedat Ajibade: Super Falcons forward bags first brace for Avaldsnes

Rasheedat Ajibade bagged her first brace for Avaldsnes as they defeated FL Fart 3-0 in a Norwegian Toppserien game on Saturday.

The 19-year-old had provided an assist to ensure her side claimed a 1-0 triumph over Roa before the international break last week.

The FC Robo product, who returned from helping Nigeria to the third round of the Olympic Games qualifiers on Thursday, was hoping to inspire her side a back-to-back win in Vang.

The Nigeria international opened the scoring 10 minutes into the game for Lena Tyriberget's ladies at the Fartbana Stadium.

Five minutes from half-time, Giovana doubled the visitors lead before Ajibaded bagged her brace 20 minutes after the restart to guarantee the visitors victory.
