Super Falcons forward Rinsola Babajide continued her fine form for UD Tenerife, scoring her fourth goal of the season in a dramatic 2-2 draw against Atletico Madrid Femenino in the Spanish Primera División.
The 24-year-old striker, who has now scored in consecutive matches, opened the scoring in the 24th minute, capitalizing on a defensive lapse to put Tenerife ahead before halftime in Adeje.
Atletico Madrid responded in the 52nd minute when star striker Guijarro rose to head home from a corner, leveling the score at 1-1. Tenerife’s defensive frailties were exposed again when Lloris capitalized on a poorly defended cross to give Atletico a 2-1 lead.
Just as Atletico Madrid thought they had secured all three points, Tenerife displayed resilience, with Perez salvaging a point for the home side in the 94th minute through the last kick of the game.
