Spanish giants, Atletico Madrid have expressed satisfaction with the performances of Nigerian international striker Rasheedat Ajibade following her incredible goal scoring streak.
The Super Falcons forward has been superb for the former Spanish champions since joining from Norway last year.
The Nigerian star has been almost unplayable in the Spanish Primera Division Femenina, scoring ten goals in 18 league matches for Atletico this season.
Ajibade scored the third goal in their most recent match as her side rough handled Granadilla Tenerife by 4-1.
Remarkably, it is the third consecutive match at the Estadio Wanda Atlético de Madrid Alcalá de Henares that the 22-year-old would hit the target in front of the home fans. She struck a brace in the 5-0 defeat of Sevilla last time out, and another brace in the 3-2 victory over city rivals Madrid before that.
The forward’s scoring run has forced her club to publicly laud her on their official Twitter account.
Atletico Madrid wrote (translated from Spanish): “Every time we play at home… Don’t say goal, say Ajibade!”
However, Ajibade’s exploit is unlikely to help Atletico Madrid win any major trophy at the end of the season.
As of the time of filing this report, they have already been knocked out of the Spanish Cup and are a massive 26 points behind Asisat Oshoala’s Barcelona on the league table.
