Toni Payne: American-Nigerian striker leads Sevilla past Tacon

Toni Payne scored the opening goal to help Sevilla to a 3-2 victory over Tacon in an all Spanish club friendly in Valdebebas on Wednesday.

In June, the American-Nigerian forward signed a two-year contract extension following her exploits on her maiden season in Spain.

Payne scored 10 goals and provided three assists in 30 outings last season and has started from where she left during this pre-season.

The ex-USA youth international opened the scoring for Sevilla in the 10th minute - two minutes after she missed finishing off Aedo's cross.

However, the celebration was shortlived for Cristian Toro's side as Asllani leveled matters for the newly promoted Madrid based outfit two minutes later.
