The DFCO has strengthened in the offensive sector with a second Nigerian international in its workforce. In addition to Desire Oparanozie, at the club since last season, the Burgundy club recorded the arrival of Esther Sunday who started on the bench today against Onyinyechi Zogg’s Soyaux.
After two consecutive defeats against Olympique Lyonnais (6-0) and AS Saint-Etienne (0-4), the DFCO had to offer a reaction on the lawn of ASJ Soyaux, DFCO Dijon returned to winning ways thanks to two goals from Super Falcons of Nigeria forward, Desire Oparanozie.
The DFCO entered the game much better than against Saint-Etienne, and did not take long to create its first dangerous situations. On a corner from Elody Salaün, Désiré Oparanozie placed her head, but she ended up in the arms of the goalkeeper. The Nigerian will then take advantage of a poor recovery from Philippe to intercept and go to strike but couldn’t find the back of the net.
It is finally the DFCO which will find the opening in the 15th minute thanks to a superb overflow from Léna Goetsch, followed by a caviar delivered on the head of Désiré Oparanozie, who does not miss the offering.
Kelly Gadea equalised for Soyaux in the 51st minute.
DFCO with immediate reply thanks to Désiré Oparanozie. Served in depth by Léa Declercq, the Nigerian precedes Philippe’s exit and scores in the empty goal, from a difficult angle.
The captain played for the duration of the game and received a yellow card in the 54th minute after her brace which took her goals tally to three in five league games.
At the other end, a Nigerian, Onyinyechi Zogg was replaced by Corina Luijks in the 46th minute.
Soyaux occupies the 11th position with three points from five games ahead of its next game against Chiamaka Nnadozie’s Paris FC on October 16.
