Ajibade in Tears as She Dedicates Player of the Match Award to Team
Rasheedat Ajibade got emotional after being named Player of the Match in Nigeria’s 2-1 win over South Africa, saying she didn’t feel she deserved the honour. It was her third consecutive award in the tournament, but this time, she broke down in tears as she received it, choosing instead to give credit to her teammates.
Ajibade had opened the scoring for Nigeria with a first-half penalty, before South Africa’s Linda Motlhalo equalised from the spot. The game was sealed in dramatic fashion when Michelle Alozie’s deep cross slipped past the South African keeper in stoppage time, sending the Super Falcons into the WAFCON final.
Speaking after the match, Ajibade said, “I honestly don’t think I deserve this. It’s all by God’s grace, and I dedicate every single one of these awards to my teammates. This is a team effort, not just about me.”
Captain of the Morocco national team, Achraf Hakimi, has shared his thoughts on the controversial topic surrounding AFCON 2025.
It can be noted that the team was accused of taking towels belonging to opposition goalkeepers during matches, which sparked criticism from fans and observers, with many calling for consequences.
Hakimi expressed his disappointment over the situation, stating “I don’t feel proud about the image we gave off with the towels. Even though that happened, the team did well in the competition. We showed respect for our opponents in the tournament.”
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
