Nigeria international Rinsola Babajide has expressed delight after opening her goals account for AS Roma female team.
Babajide was on target in AS Roma’s Cup 3-0 quarter-final win against Sassuolo on Sunday.
The winger hit a low left-foot strike into the far corner after receiving a clever pass from her teammate to put her side 1-0 up.
After helping her team clinch the win, Babajide took to her X handle to celebrate her first goal for the club.
“Proud moment to score my first goal for @ASRomaFemminile & through to the Semi Finals ❤️ Thank you Lord for the victory .”
Babajide joined Roma in the summer from Spanish club UDG Tenerife.
The 27-year-old also featured for clubs like Crystal Palace, Watford, Brighton, Millwall and Liverpool.
She won the Liverpool Women’s Player of the Season award in the 2019/2020 season.
After appearing for England at age grade levels, Babajide switched her allegiance to Nigeria and made her senior debut on 25 October 2023, starting in a 1-1 draw with Ethiopia during 2024 Olympic qualifiers.
She was part of the Super Falcons side that won a record-extending Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON 2025) title in Morocco.
