Rasheedat Ajibade scores first Atletico Madrid goal against Valencia

Rasheedat Ajibade scored her first goal for Atletico Madrid in Sunday’s 4-1 victory over Valencia in a Spanish Primera Iberdrola encounter.

Since joining Atletico on a two-year deal from Norwegian Toppserien side Avaldsnes on January 1, 2021, Ajibade has failed to find the net, although she only played as a substitute in all five games.

The Nigeria international was handed her sixth appearance as a substitute again, and she went on to mark her presence on the pitch, with her first goal in Spanish football.
