Lamine Yamal vibes! Massive Nigerian forward stuns with another R2 banger

Nigeria’s Super Falcons forward Esther Okoronkwo is lighting up the Canadian Northern Super League after delivering yet another sensational goal as AFC Toronto defeated Montreal Roses 2-0 to extend their unbeaten run to four matches.

Okoronkwo, who has quickly established herself as a rising star in Canada, opened the scoring in the 35th minute with a stunning right-footed curler from outside the box, her third goal of the season and another highlight-reel strike reminiscent of Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal.

The Nigerian forward’s latest wondergoal came after initially losing possession, only to recover and unleash an unstoppable shot into the top left corner following a smart pass from a teammate.

Her performance earned her another Player of the Match honours as AFC Toronto solidified their place among the league’s early contenders.

This latest strike follows Okoronkwo’s brace in AFC Toronto’s historic first home win, where she netted a composed finish and a similar spectacular long-range rocket to secure a 2-1 victory over Calgary Wild FC, immediately putting her in contention for Goal of the Month.

Okoronkwo, 28, has played across France, Spain, China, and now Canada, joining AFC Toronto after stints with AS Saint-Étienne, UD Tenerife, and Changchun Dazhong.

Her impact has been immediate, with AFC Toronto’s sporting director hailing her as a “genuine difference-maker” capable of playing across the front line.

Okoronkwo is one of only two Nigerian players in the Northern Super League, joining compatriot Ngozi Okobi-Ekeoghene in making waves in the league’s inaugural season.

Her early exploits have established her as both a golden boot contender and a fan favourite, as AFC Toronto look to build on their strong start.

Her blend of power, technique, and flair continues to dazzle Canadian fans, with the latest R2 beauty reflecting the growing influence at AFC.
