Rasheedat Ajibade on target as Avaldsnes edge Sandviken in five-goal thriller

Rasheedat Ajibade was on target as she led Avaldsnes to a 3-2 win over Sandviken in a Norwegian Toppserien encounter on Saturday.

The Nigeria international, who last scored in her side's 3-0 win over Fart on September 7, netted her first brace since arriving in Norway in December 2018.

Having bowed 2-1 to Lillestrøm last week, Lena Tyriberget's ladies were seeking a victory and they held their nerve to edge their Champions League hopeful visitors in a five-goal thriller.

After being goalless at half-time, the 21-year-old only required four minutes into the second half to lift the spirit of the home fans as she opened the scoring at the Avaldsnes Idrettssenter.
