Shakirat Moshood
Shakirat Moshood proved unstoppable, leveraging her pace to devastating effect. Her midfield bursts created scoring opportunities, and her beautifully taken goal underscored her attacking prowess.
Moshood's tireless work ethic, pressing opponents and winning possession, made her a nightmare to contend with.
Taiwo Adegoke

Her ability to invert into half spaces and press opponents allowed her to release teammates into scoring positions.
Adegoke's defensive prowess was equally impressive, avoiding errors throughout the match.
