Echegini doubled PSG’s advantage in the 36th minute, rising above the Fleury defence to head the ball into the net and register her first league goal of the campaign.

Ajibade then extended PSG’s lead 13 minutes into the second half, finishing in the 58th minute to put the hosts firmly in control.

The victory gave PSG four wins from four league matches and underlined the growing influence of the two Nigerian internationals in the French side’s attack.

For Echegini, the goal was a particularly welcome moment after establishing herself as part of PSG’s attacking options following her move to the club.

The Nigerian forward showed good anticipation to meet the delivery and direct her header beyond the Fleury goalkeeper, giving PSG a comfortable advantage before half-time.

Ajibade’s goal, meanwhile, continued her excellent run of form.

The Nigerian midfielder had already found the net in PSG’s emphatic 5-0 victory over OH Leuven in the UEFA Women’s Champions League on Thursday.

Her strike against Fleury means she has scored in consecutive matches and has now registered three league goals this season.

The back-to-back goals underline Ajibade’s growing importance to a PSG side that has made a strong start domestically and in Europe.

PSG controlled much of the contest after taking the lead, with Fleury struggling to find a response to the home side’s attacking pressure.

Echegini’s goal gave the hosts breathing room, while Ajibade’s second-half strike appeared to settle the contest.

Fleury managed to pull a goal back late in the match, giving PSG a nervous final spell.

The Paris side, however, held on to protect its advantage and complete another important league victory.

The result keeps PSG’s perfect domestic record intact after four matches, with the club collecting maximum points from every game so far.

The contribution of Ajibade and Echegini will be particularly encouraging for PSG as the campaign develops.

Ajibade has quickly become a consistent attacking threat, combining her work rate in midfield with an increasing contribution in front of goal.

Echegini, meanwhile, will hope her first league goal of the season marks the beginning of a productive run after making her mark in PSG colours.

The Nigerian duo are also part of a growing contingent of Super Falcons players making their presence felt at leading European clubs.

Their performances have added another positive dimension to the early stages of the season for Nigeria’s senior women’s national team, with both players continuing to gain valuable experience at the highest level of European club football.

For PSG, Sunday’s victory provided another statement of intent.

The French club has begun the domestic campaign without dropping a point and has also produced an impressive result in the Women’s Champions League, where the side defeated OH Leuven 5-0.

With Ajibade and Echegini contributing goals, PSG will be encouraged by the depth and variety of its attacking options as the season gathers momentum.

The challenge now will be to maintain that consistency as the domestic and European schedules become more demanding.

For Ajibade, the immediate form is especially promising. After scoring against OH Leuven and Fleury within four days, the midfielder has emerged as one of PSG’s key attacking outlets.

Echegini will also take confidence from her first league goal of the campaign, particularly after helping PSG establish a decisive advantage against a Fleury side that eventually managed only a late consolation.

The 3-1 result therefore represents more than another three points for PSG. It also provides further evidence of the important roles being played by two of Nigeria’s leading international stars in one of Europe’s competitive women’s leagues.
