Desire Oparanozie’s brace of assists inspires Dijon past Issy

Desire Oparanozie bagged two assists as Dijon secured a 3-1 comeback triumph over Issy in Sunday’s French women's top-flight game.

Dijon and Issy went into the encounter on the back of their opening defeats against Soyaux and Le Havre on September 5 and were desperate to avoid back-to-back losses in the new campaign.

Haitian Batcheba Loius opened the scoring for the visitors after she profited from a defensive mixup to find the net in the 19th minute.
