Super Falcons forward, Jennifer Echegini, continued her impressive form for Paris Saint-Germain Féminine (PSG).
Echegini provided a crucial assist in their 2-1 victory over Strasbourg in the French D1 Arkema on Saturday.
The midfielder, who has been a key performer since joining PSG, played a pivotal role in the game at the Stade de la Meinau.
As the match approached halftime, she delivered a perfectly weighted pass to Romee Leuchter, who found the back of the net in the 45th minute, putting PSG ahead.
PSG doubled their lead in the 63rd minute after a defensive mishap by Laurine Hannequin, who turned the ball into her own net under pressure from the visitors.
However, Strasbourg refused to go down without a fight, and in stoppage time, Liana Lina Joseph capitalized on Emily Evels’ assist to pull one back for the hosts.
Echegini, who has been in red-hot form, was substituted in the 69th minute for French defender Griedge Mbock as PSG aimed to maintain their advantage.

They sit just one point behind second-placed Paris FC and eight points adrift of league leaders Lyon.
