In a thrilling Division 1 Féminine clash, Super Falcons’ forward Ifeoma Onumonu scored twice for Montpellier HSC Féminines, but her efforts were ultimately overshadowed by a 4-2 defeat to Chiamaka Nnadozie’s Paris FC on Saturday night.
Onumonu’s goals marked her third of the season and second consecutive match with a goal, building momentum in France’s top women’s league. Her previous goal helped Montpellier rout Guingamp 7-0.
Montpellier’s hopes were reignited when Onumonu struck again in the 58th minute, showcasing her composure and clinical finishing. Her second goal brought Montpellier level at 2-2, momentarily silencing the home crowd.
However, Paris FC’s resilience shone through in the closing stages. Kessya Bussy completed her brace in the 72nd minute, restoring their lead. As Montpellier pushed forward in search of another equalizer, gaps emerged in their defense, allowing Mathilde Bourdieu to seal the win with a late fourth goal for Paris FC.
Despite the defeat, Onumonu’s performance remains a bright spot for Montpellier. Her growing confidence and form signal her importance as a key attacking threat. With three goals in her last two games, she’s proving to be a vital asset as Montpellier navigates a challenging Division 1 Féminine season.
Meanwhile, Paris FC continues their strong campaign, solidifying their position in the league’s upper echelons, with Nnadozie’s presence in goal and Bussy’s attacking prowess steering them to victory.
