Copa de La Reina: Rasheedat Ajibade provides assist in Athletico's quarter final win

Published on: 09 March 2023

Super Falcons forward, Rasheedat Ajibade provided an assist as Athletico de Madrid Femenino defeated Granada in the quarter final of the Copa de La Reina on Wednesday, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Athletico were three nil winners after regulation time at Nuevo Los Cármenes to progress to the semi finals of the competition.

Her fine pass at the closing stages of the first half put Bárbara face to face with the goalkeeper as she managed to score and give Madrid the lead before the half time whistle.

After a cagey first twenty minutes of the second half, Shei gave Madrid some respite as she scored in the 75th minute with Maitane consolidating the win at the dead of the game after hitting in the ball from a rebound following Banini's shot which hit the woodwork.

Ajibade and her teammates next match will be on Sunday, March 12 at the Wanda Alcalá de Henares Sports Center where they play Real Madrid in a derby.
