Super Falcons striker, Rinsola Babajide, has shared her excitement after netting her maiden goal for AS Roma Women.
The forward was on the scoresheet as Roma sealed a comfortable 3-0 victory over Sassuolo in their Cup quarter-final clash on Sunday.
Babajide opened the scoring with a precise left-footed effort into the far corner after being played through by a teammate.
Following the win, the 27-year-old took to her X account to savour the milestone:
“Proud moment to score my first goal for @ASRomaFemminile & through to the Semi Finals. Thank you Lord for the victory .”
Babajide arrived in Rome during the summer from Spanish side UDG Tenerife. Her career has also seen her represent clubs including Crystal Palace, Watford, Brighton, Millwall and Liverpool, where she was crowned Women’s Player of the Season in 2019/20.
Having previously represented England at youth level, Babajide switched international allegiance to Nigeria and made her Super Falcons debut on 25 October 2023 in a 1-1 draw against Ethiopia during the Olympic qualifiers.
Most recently, she featured in the Nigerian squad that claimed a record-extending Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON 2025) title in Morocco.
