Rasheedat Ajibade has continued her brilliant form this season, delivering another MVP-worthy performance for Atletico de Madrid Femenino against their Liga F opponent, Madrid CFF.
Rasheedat Ajibade shines in Atletico’s commanding win
The Nigerian forward not only found the back of the net but also played a crucial role in forcing two own goals against their visitors, Footballrover reports.
Her relentless pressure on the opposition’s defence led to two defensive errors, resulting in own goals that helped her team secure a comfortable victory.
Atletico entered the match on the back of a 4-0 away victory over Valencia, and they replicated that scoreline at home.
Ajibade made her mark just 21 minutes in, when her pressure caused Paola Ulloa to score an own goal as the ball penetrated through her legs, giving Atletico the early lead.
After the break, Ajibade continued to wreak havoc in Madrid CFF box.
In the 51st minute, she doubled Atletico’s advantage, converting a sweet pass from Boe Risa after cutting off Madrid defender, leaving her with an easy finish.

Ajibade’s relentless pressure forces key errors
Ajibade’s relentless pace and control on the right flank kept Madrid CFF’s defence under constant pressure.
Her efforts paid off again in stoppage time when she forced Emily Assis into another own goal, putting Atletico up 3-0.
Madrid CFF didn’t know what hit them, and just minutes later, Synne Jensen sealed the win with a goal, wrapping up a perfect night for Atletico with a brilliant dribble and strike in the box.
Ajibade’s influence throughout the match was there for all to see at the Centro Deportivo Wanda Alcalá de Henares, as she controlled the tempo and drove Atletico forward.
With this victory, the Super Falcons stars and her teammates have now won five consecutive matches in all competitions, maintaining their unbeaten run this season.
