Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade enjoyed a thrilling outing on Sunday evening, finding the back of the net to help PSG Women snatch a dramatic victory over Montpellier in the French Première Ligue.

Coming off the bench, Ajibade scored late in the encounter as her side overturned a 2-1 deficit to claim a hard-fought 3-2 away win at the Stade de la Mosson, Footballrover reports.

Rasheedat Ajibade rescues PSG Women in stoppage-time chaos

The Round 18 fixture saw the 26-year-old forward register her first league goal of the campaign, bringing her total goal contributions for the season to four (two goals and two assists across all competitions).

Ajibade was introduced in the 62nd minute to replace Romée Leuchter and took just 29 minutes to make her mark.

Her compatriot, Jennifer Echegini—who celebrated her birthday earlier today—was also in action for the Parisian side.

Paris Saint-Germain Féminine looked in control early on when Romee Leuchter struck barely 24 minutes into the game to hand them the lead.

But the hosts weren’t having it. Ashley Clark pulled Montpellier level just past the half-hour mark.

It stayed tight until the 81st minute, when Justine Rouquet flipped the game on its head with a go-ahead goal—2–1 to Montpellier—and suddenly PSG were staring at defeat.

Then chaos!

Deep into stoppage time, Ajibade popped up in the 91st minute to rescue PSG, making it 2–2 and sparking belief.

But they weren’t done yet. Just three minutes later, Sakina Karchaoui delivered the knockout blow, completing a stunning comeback at 2–3.

From trailing in the 90th minute to snatching all three points, PSG turned heartbreak into joy in the blink of an eye.

Kanu on Target as Cruz Azul see off Mazatlán

Meanwhile, in Mexico’s Liga MX Femenil Clausura, Super Falcons forward Uchenna Kanu delivered yet another impressive performance, scoring the decisive goal to lead Cruz Azul to a hard-earned home victory over Mazatlán FC.

In the Round 13 fixture, the 28-year-old Nigerian striker netted the only goal of the match to secure a 1-0 win over the visitors.

Kanu’s strike, coming eight minutes after the half-hour mark, proved to be the difference in a closely contested encounter, ensuring Cruz Azul walked away with all three points.

With Sunday’s strike, Kanu has now scored five goals in her last four games, bringing her total for the season to five.

The victory also extends Cruz Azul’s unbeaten run to five matches—comprising one draw and four straight wins. This rich vein of form climbs them to 7th place on the table with 24 points.
