Nigeria international forward Rasheedat Ajibade was the Queen of the pitch for Atletico de Madrid Femenino on Wednesday evening as they booked a spot in the quarter-final of the Copa De La Reina.
The Copel De La Reina is an annual women’s version of the men’s Copa Del Rey.
The Super Falcons star registered a goal and an assist as the Rojablancas defeated Real Sociedad Femenino 2-0 in the round of 16.
Ajibade provided an assist for Martha Cardonna in the 45th minute to break the deadlock before she sealed the game with a goal to her name in the 60th minute to book a fight with league leaders FC Barcelona Femeni in the quarter-final.
However, nine-time winners Barcelona face being thrown out of the Copa de la Reina for fielding an ineligible side in Tuesday’s 9-0 win over Osasuna.
Osasuna have lodged an official complaint, appealing for the game to be awarded to them as a walkover. If granted, Atletico will play Osasuna in quarter-final instead of Barcelona.
