In an entertaining Saudi Premier League Women clash, Ashleigh Plumptre and Francisca Ordega proved why they’re two of the most dynamic Super Falcons stars.
Their standout performances helped Al Ittihad Ladies snap a losing streak with a decisive 3-0 win over Al Amal, footballrover reports.
But how did they do it? Here’s the full story behind their remarkable contributions.
Ashleigh Plumptre delivers the final blow for Al-Ittihad
Ashleigh Plumptre was a force to be reckoned with, dominating from the back and finishing the game in style.
The 26-year-old defender not only registered over 80 passes but also capped off her flawless performance with a late goal, sealing the victory for Al Ittihad in the 85th minute.
Her consistency this season has been a crucial part of the team’s resurgence, and she continued that form against Al-Amal.
Francisca Ordega’s two assists spark Al Ittihad’s dominance
While Plumptre displayed her brilliance with a goal, Francisca Ordega was equally influential in the win.
The 31-year-old forward played the full 90 minutes, contributing two key assists that inspired Al Ittihad to a clinical performance.
Ordega’s first assist came in the 31st minute, when she set up Letícia Nunes for the opener, and shortly after the break, she assisted Lana Abdulrazak to double the lead.
The match, held at the Prince Faisal bin Fahad Stadium, had a tense start when Al Amal had a penalty opportunity to take the lead, but Ittihad’s defence stood strong, denying Imène Merrouche.
From that point, the hosts took control, with Ordega’s creativity and Plumptre’s defence driving the team forward.
This victory was a crucial moment for Al Ittihad, who had been struggling with four consecutive defeats.
Thanks to Plumptre and Ordega’s latest contributions, they’ve now bounced back to winning ways and sit in 7th place with 18 points, shifting their focus to their next challenge—Al Nassr Women.
With a renewed sense of confidence, Ashleigh Plumptre and Francisca Ordega are set to lead Al Ittihad to greater heights as they aim for more wins in the coming weeks.
