Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n

Nigeria midfielder Ngozi Okobi-Okeoghene was on target as Eskilstuna United recorded a 4-2 victory at Uppsala in Sunday’s Swedish Damallsvenskan encounter at Studenternas IP.<\/p>\n

Following a 3-1 victory against Orebro last week, Magnus Karlsson’s side went into the showdown with the sole ambition to maintain their newly found winning mentality at Uppsala.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old Nigerian was handed her 12th start of the season following her fine display against Orebro in their last outing and she put up a good show along with compatriot Halimatu Ayinde.<\/p>\n

Felicia Rogic gave Eskilstuna the lead in the 14th minute before Okobi-Okeoghene came close to scoring the second in the 35th minute but was denied by\u00a0goalkeeper Emma Holmgren.<\/p>\n

Two minutes from the half time break, the Nigerian midfielder found a breakthrough and she doubled the lead for the ambitious visitors.<\/p>\n

Eskilstuna continued from where they left off in the second half as Rogic bagged her brace and the side’s third 12 minutes after the restart.<\/p>\n

Ayinde came close to getting on the scoresheet but her attempt went wide in the 67th minute before Kaisa Collin set up Rogic to bag her hat-trick 10 minutes later.<\/p>\n

Uppsala, however, bagged two late goals through Marika Bergman Lundin and Beata Olsson but those were not enough to deny the visitors the maximum points from the six-goal thriller.<\/p>\n
