'This means a lot' - Nigeria's Okeke on winning debut with Madrid

Nigeria international Chidinma Okeke has revealed that her winning debut with Madrid in Sunday's Liga Iberdrola game 'means a lot' to her.

The 19-year-old, who sealed her move to Spain last week, started for Oscar Fernandez' side in a 1-0 home win over Real Betis.

The defender put up a solid display as they matched their visitors for 90 minutes before claiming an injury-time winner through Fernandez Pablos at Estadio Municipal Nuevo Matapinonera.

The former FC Robo star, who featured for the duration, said she is pleased over making a bright start to life in the Spanish top-flight.
