Ajibade and Echegini Link Up for Early PSG Goal Against Lens

Rasheedat Ajibade and Jennifer Echegini strengthened their encouraging partnership at Paris Saint-Germain by combining for an early goal against Racing Club de Lens in the Arkema Première Ligue.

Nigerian duo handed starting roles

Both Super Falcons internationals were selected from the outset after PSG’s latest European fixture, giving them another opportunity to build their relationship in attack.

Quick impact against Lens

Their influence was immediate, with PSG taking the lead after just three minutes.

  • Echegini created the opening with a pass into Ajibade’s path.
  • Ajibade remained calm in front of goal and converted the chance to put the French side ahead.

The early breakthrough underlined the growing connection between the two Nigerians and offered further evidence of their potential as an attacking partnership.

Ajibade has adapted rapidly to life at PSG, while Echegini continues to display the imagination and offensive ability that have established her as a key figure for the Super Falcons.

Their link-up against Lens also gave PSG an additional attacking weapon as the club continues its pursuit of success in domestic football and across Europe this season.
