It’s a battle of two Nigerian sisters in the French Arkema Division 1 Ligue, when Desire Oparanozie’s Dijon side welcomed Esther Okoronkwo’s Saint Etienne side.
Saint Etienne defeated Dijon by 4-0, thanks to Esther Okoronkwo’s brace as Caputo and Chaumette completed the demolition at Stade des Poussots.
Okoronkwo opened the scoring in the 4th minute from a Multari’s assist and 21 minutes later she registered another through Gago’s assist.
The Nigerian forward was substituted for Audrey Chaumette in the 73rd minute, who went on to score Saint Etienne’s fourth in the 83rd minute after Caputo has scored the third in the 52nd.
The brace means the Nigerian forward has opened her goal account for the season.
Dijon captain, Desire Oparanozie who featured for the Super Falcons of Nigeria at the maiden Aisha Buhari Tournament played for the duration of the game for DFCO Dijon, as 10-woman Dijon bowed to defeat at home after Marie-Jo Girardot’s red card in the 78th minute.
