Oparanozie opens Dijon goal account in victory against Yango and Traore's Guingamp

Desire Oparanozie opened her Dijon goal account in their 2-0 win over Jeannette Yango and Aissata Traore’s Guingamp in Saturday's French D1Arkema encounter at Akademi EAG Stadium.

The Nigeria international quit Guingamp after six years to join Yannick Chandioux's team on a two-year deal this summer.

Before the encounter, Oparanozie could not find the target in Dijon's opening 2-1 defeat at Soyaux but provided two assists in a 3-1 comeback triumph over Issy before the international break.
