Super Falcons midfielder Deborah Abiodun can’t stop scoring for her team, in the University of Pittsburgh Women’s Soccer, she has increased her tally to four goals in their 1-1 draw against Notre Dame during the weekend.
Abiodun made a perfect run inside the area before heading in Keera Melenhorst’s corner kick for an 82nd minute equaliser to earn a point in the game.
“Such an honour to make a crucial difference. Proud of this group and our important result,” she posted via her X account on Tuesday.
Since returning from the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and Newland, the 19-year-old has been scoring goals for fun for her team.
So far, the teenage midfielder has four goals and an assist: a total of five goals contributions.
Abiodun scored her first goal for Pittsburgh, with a header in their big win over Bucknell Bisons on August 27, just days after the long trip from Australia, with Randy Waldrum as their coach.
While she then expressed the excitement of scoring with her head, she now has another headed goal.
“It was quite a good game and good performance from the team in general. I was so happy because I scored with my head, I can’t remember when last I scored a goal with my head.
It was a great free kick from my teammate. The whole team, in particular, are so good and everyone always wants to do the best. I am so happy to be here,” Abiodun said after scoring her first goal earlier in August.
