Super Falcons stars Shukurat Oladipo and Rinsola Babajide have celebrated a historic domestic double with AS Roma this season.
Nigerian football is buzzing with pride as two Super Falcons stars, Shukurat Oladipo and Rinsola Babajide, have completed a brilliant domestic double with AS Roma.
The Italian club lifted the Coppa Italia Women trophy after a tense final against rivals Juventus. It took a late strike from Manuela Giugliano to settle the match, as she found the back of the net just ten minutes before the final whistle.
Oladipo was a rock at the back for Roma. She played the entire 90 minutes of the hard-fought final, living up to her recent award as the best defender in the Italian top-flight. Her solid presence helped keep the Juventus attack at bay.
Babajide, who operates as a versatile striker, did not get on the pitch for this particular clash. She stayed on the bench as an unused substitute. Even so, her contributions throughout the season have been vital to the team's overall success.
This cup victory caps off a dominant run for the Giallorossi. They had already secured the Serie A Femminile title earlier this month, making the double a reality.
Looking at their season numbers, Oladipo has been a consistent figure with 31 appearances across all competitions. Babajide featured 14 times, registering one goal and three assists to help Roma cross the finish line in style.
