Ajibade seals victory as PSG march into historic final
The Nigeria international struck in the 89th minute after finding space inside the box, before coolly guiding a well-placed shot past goalkeeper Tara Elimbi Gilbert to make it 3-0. Her goal capped a dominant display and moved PSG one step away from lifting the trophy in the competition’s first-ever edition.
Ajibade only joined the French giants in 2025 after four successful seasons with Atlético Madrid Women, where she won both the Copa de la Reina and the Spanish Super Cup.
