Mummy G.O is back: Rasheedat Ajibade fires PSG into Cup final with heroic return

Nigeria’s Super ​Falcons captain, Rasheedat Ajibade, announced her return in the loudest way possible, with a goal that sealed Paris Saint-Germain Feminine’s place in the cup final after a commanding 3–0 semi-final victory over Paris FC.

Introduced from the bench, Ajibade struck in the 89th minute to put the result beyond doubt, her second goal in PSG colours and perhaps her most symbolic yet.

After months on the sidelines, Ajiade, who recently modelled her club's new kits, didn’t just return, she finished the job.

Ajibade’s momentum had been cruelly interrupted on November 20, 2025, during a UEFA Women's Champions League clash against FC Bayern Munich Frauen.

That night, she had already provided an assist before sustaining the injury that ruled her out for weeks. It was a painful halt for a player just beginning to stamp her authority in Europe.

Before the setback, she had opened her PSG account with a stunning strike against Real Madrid Femenino in the UWCL, a reminder of her big-game pedigree.

Saturday’s finish against Paris FC confirmed what many suspected: the sharpness never left.

Moments after the final whistle, Ajibade took to X with a simple message:

“On to the final.”

No drama. Just purpose.

Back home, the reaction was instant.

Fondly nicknamed “Mummy G.O.” for her outspoken faith and leadership aura, Ajibade’s return sent Nigerian football fans into celebration mode.

One supporter summed it up:

“Rasheedat Ajibade missed weeks through injury. Comes back. Scores in the 89th minute. Sends PSG to the final. Strong statement at the right time.”

With the Women's Africa Cup of Nations scheduled for March, her resurgence couldn’t be better timed for Nigeria.

Another fan wrote:

“PSG win 3-0. Mummy G.O scores third goal, a good motivation for the Nigeria captain as WAFCON is scheduled for March. Amazing goal from the bench!”

And perhaps the most colourful reaction of all:

“Mummy G.O don turn Mummy Final. Oya use Anointing carry that cup dey go house!”

For PSG, Ajibade’s return adds firepower at the business end of the season.

For Nigeria, it restores belief.

Now, with a cup final against Lyon ahead and continental duty looming, the Super Falcons captain has a chance to crown her comeback with silverware in France before leading her country’s charge for African glory.

The anointing didn’t fade. It was only loading.
