Ajibade eyes first PSG trophy
Rasheedat Ajibade aims for her first trophy with Paris Saint-Germain Women after they secured a place in the Coupe LFFP final by defeating Paris FC Women.
Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has focused her sights on clinching her first title with Paris Saint-Germain Women following their convincing victory over Paris FC Women in the semi-finals of the Coupe LFFP. Ajibade played a key role in the 3-0 win, scoring her first goal since October, which helped confirm PSG's dominance over their city rivals, achieving the same scoreline in two consecutive encounters. Her performance further highlights her contributions since returning to the team in January after a stint sidelined due to injury.
In the semi-final match, PSG's Romée Leuchter opened the scoring just after halftime, followed by a goal from Merveille Kanjinga, establishing a commanding lead before Ajibade sealed the victory with her goal. This latest win is significant as it not only propels PSG into the final but also underscores the team's competitive form this season, as they prepare to face Lyon, who secured their spot in the final with a 4-0 victory over Dijon.
The impending final on March 14 will be a crucial match not only for Ajibade but also for PSG as they seek to claim the championship and solidify their position as a dominant force in women’s football. Celebrating her goal on social media, Ajibade expressed her determination, stating, "On to the final," indicating her enthusiasm and ambition as they approach this critical matchup against a strong opponent like Lyon.
