Super Falcons star Jennifer Echegini has finally announced her arrival at Paris Saint-Germain with a stunning brace in a thrilling 7-goal spectacle against Dijon Foot.
In what has been a challenging season so far, the Nigerian midfielder put in a performance that is sure to turn heads, helping PSG to a dominant 6-1 victory.
But how did she manage to break through and make such an impact?
After a slow start to her PSG career, with limited playing time and a struggle to settle in, Echegini was determined to show what she’s capable of.
Jennifer Echegini’s brace and PSG’s stunning form
In just her third start of the season, the 23-year-old midfielder opened the scoring in the 10th minute, giving PSG a lead they would never relinquish. But that was just the beginning.
The match continued to be a spectacle of attacking brilliance, with Echegini adding a second goal just 18 minutes after her first.
Her clinical finishing in the first half set the tone as PSG surged ahead 4-0 at the break with two more goals from Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Manssita Traore.
As the match wore on, the goals kept coming, with Sakina Karchaoui and Froya Brennskag-Dorsin adding to the scoreline for PSG, making it a resounding 6-1.
While this game marked a personal triumph for Jennifer Echegini, it also highlighted PSG's growing momentum in the league.
With four wins in their last five games, the French giants are hot on the heels of Lyon, with just one point separating them.
Echegini’s brace provides a much-needed boost as she prepares for her next challenge against fellow Nigerian Chiamaka Nnadozie’s Paris FC.
Recall that Echegini made the move to PSG from Juventus Women, where she had a brief six-month stint. During that period, she made a notable impression, netting 10 goals and registering one assist in 16 appearances.
