Nigerian striker Rasheedat Ajibade was in great form on Sunday, 7 August, scoring three goals as Atletico de Madrid Femenino recorded a 6-1 victory against Alhama CF.

"The team has done well, and the most important thing is that we have won because that is the objective, to win all the games with the Atleti shirt, it doesn't matter if it's a pre-season match, a friendly or a competition, we just have to play to win.

“It is a good match to understand each other more as a team, to understand our patterns and structures, and to build on what we have been learning during the week."

The Nigerian star this summer moved to Nottingham Forest from German side Union Berlin where he was impressive last season netting 19 goals.

Awoniyi started his football career on the streets of Ilorin in Kwara State before getting the chance to represent Nigeria at the Under 17 World Cup in Dubai in 2013 winning the title.

His performances at the Under 17 World Cup helped him secure a move to Liverpool in 2015, but he never played any games for the Anfield based side as he spent his six-year playing on loan.
