Super Falcons star Esther Okoronkwo scored a 27-minute hattrick for Toronto FC to inspire them to a 4-1 win over Montreal Roses in the Canadian Nothern Super League playoffs on Tuesday.
Okoronkwo, who is a nominee for the CAF Women’s player of the year, once again proved her quality for her Canadian side.
The 28-year-old forward opened the scoring in the 6th minute after she was located with square ball in the box.
She made no mistake despite pressure from the on-rushing goalkeeper, and converted from close range.
Her second goal was from a free-kick. She beat the goalkeeper at her near post with a low shot which trickled into the net after the goalkeeper initially fumbled it.
Then, her third goal was just pure class. Okoronkwo tried a cross from the edge of the box, but the defender’s clearance got back straight to her.
The Super Falcons star bullied her way past four defenders and struck a low shot to make it 3-0 in the 27th minute.
