Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has opened her goalscoring account for Paris Saint-Germain, finding the net in their 2–1 UEFA Women’s Champions League loss to Real Madrid Femenino on Wednesday night.
The Nigerian star scored her first goal in her sixth appearance for the French giants, heading home at the far post to reduce the deficit after PSG had gone 2–0 down. Her goal sparked hopes of a comeback, but Real Madrid held firm to secure a vital win.
Ajibade Joins Elite Nigerian Company at PSG
With the strike, Ajibade joins the list of Nigerians who have scored for PSG, including Jay-Jay Okocha, Bartholomew Ogbeche, and Jennifer Echegini.
Echegini, who also featured in the game, was substituted in the 81st minute after a quiet outing.
Settling into Life in Paris
Ajibade’s goal follows her first assist for PSG earlier this month, signaling a smooth adaptation to life in France after leaving Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2025.
The 2024 WAFCON Player of the Tournament enjoyed four successful seasons in Spain before her move to PSG and now looks set to become a key figure in the club’s European campaign.
Ajibade will hope her first goal marks the beginning of a strong run of form for both PSG and the Super Falcons ahead of upcoming international fixtures.
