16-Year-Old Nigerian Striker Outshines Ordega On Her Debut For Sydney FC

Nigeria international Francisca Ordega impressed on her debut for W-League side Sydney FC on Friday night local time, twenty four hours after the Australian club announced her loan signing from Washington Spirit.

The striker was introduced in the 58th minute of Sydney FC’s 1-0 win versus Brisbane Roar at  Lambert Park.

The highlight of Ordega’s performance arrived in the fourth minute of stoppage time when she cut the ball back towards Siemsen but the Roar defender did enough to put her off.

For the remainder of the 2016-2017 season, the Washington Spirit loanee will wear the number ten jersey.

Australian-born Nigerian wonderkid Princess Ibini-Isei, 16,  netted the winner for Sydney FC in the 54th minute. The number 20 started the game and was one of the most outstanding players on the pitch.
