Gift Monday continued from where Rinsola Babajide stopped last week as her outstanding display helped UD Tenerife secure a 2-1 away win at Sporting de Huelva in the Primera División Femenina.
Tenerife were trailing to an early Miku Kojima strike when Monday was introduced from the bench on the hour mark.
