France-based Malawi women’s footballer Rose Kabzere opened her scoring account in the French top-flight league on Saturday in spectacular fashion.
In a match monitored on French Arkema Women’s First Division TV, the Scorchers forward stepped off the bench in the 70th minute to contribute to her team Montpellier’s 7-0 thumping of Guingamp.
She provided an assist for the sixth goal five minutes later.
Then, it was her turn to get on the score sheet in the 80th minute after she swung upfield like a helicopter to head home the seventh.
Her celebration, arms in the air with clenched fists, spoke volumes about the significance of her goal.
Before yesterday’s matches, Montpellier were sixth in the 12-team league with 10 points from six matches.
Kabzere could not be reached for comment.
National Women’s Football Association chairperson Adellaide Migogo said her performance on Saturday was proof that she is settling down. “Her performance was impressive and if she keeps her cool, she will make it big,” she said.
