AFCON 2025
In a dazzling display of football prowess, Nigerian forward Francisca Ordega netted a hat-trick as Al Ittihad Ladies crushed Al Tarani 9-0 in a one-sided encounter.
The match, held at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, saw Ordega spearhead her team’s offensive dominance from the onset.
The former Super Falcons star showcased her clinical finishing and agility, finding the back of the net three times.
Al Ittihad’s relentless attack left Al Tarani’s defense in disarray, with additional goals coming from teammates, including fellow Super Falcon, Ashleigh Plumptre who opened the scoring in the 22nd minute.
The floodgates opened early, and Al Tarani struggled to keep pace with the swift movements and precision passing of the Al Ittihad side.
Ordega’s hat-trick not only cemented her reputation as one of the top forwards in the Saudi Women’s Premier League but also boosted Al Ittihad’s chances in the title race.
