Ajibade's Avaldsnes progress to Norwegian Women's Cup semi-finals

Rasheedat Ajibade's Avaldsnes have advanced to the semi-final of the Norwegian Women's Cup following Tuesday's 1-0 victory over Arna-Bjornar at the Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastian.

To reach the last eight stages, Avaldsnes thrashed Amazon Grimstad 5-0 a month ago, while Arna-Bjornar beat KIL / Hemne 2-0.

Having shone in her side's recent 3-0 win over Klepp, the Nigeria international was afforded a place in the starting XI as they aimed for a fourth semi-final at the expense of Remi Natvik's team.

A solitary strike from Elise Thorsnes sent Thomas Dahle's team through to the semi-finals as Ngozi Ebere's side were made to pay dearly for referee Veronika Fjeldvar's controversial decision.
