Nigeria and Super Falcons Goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie put on another bright show for Paris FC in France.

Nigerian international and reigning African Goalkeeper of the Year Chiamaka Nnadozie is taking the French Women's League by storm this season with her outstanding performances between the posts for Paris FC.

The 23-year-old shot-stopper was in inspired form once again this weekend, making her sixth penalty save of the campaign to preserve a clean sheet as Paris FC crushed Guingamp 4-0 at home.

Nnadozie's Penalty Heroics Stack Up

With her latest penalty heroics, Nnadozie has now kept an impressive 5 clean sheets across all competitions in the 2023/24 season so far for her French club. 

That tally leaves the Super Falcons goalkeeper just two shutouts behind Constance of league leaders Paris Saint-Germain, who tops the chart with seven clean sheets.

Her six penalty saves are the most of any goalkeeper in the French top flight this term as she continues to live up to her world class status.
