Creator! Ashleigh Plumptre Shines in Al Ittihad Victory

Super Falcons defender Ashleigh Plumptre once again delivered a standout display for Al Ittihad Women, inspiring them to a commanding 3-0 win over Eastern Flames on Friday night.

Fresh off providing the decisive assist against Al Ula in their last outing, Plumptre carried her attacking momentum into this clash—turning provider twice in the first half.

Al Ittihad opened the scoring in the 19th minute through Gala Khashoggi, before Plumptre set up Kina Boussaha to double the lead. Just 12 minutes later, she teed up Lina Boussaha for the team’s third, underlining her growing influence in the final third.

Beyond her creativity, Plumptre anchored the backline with authority, ensuring Ittihad kept a clean sheet against the league’s bottom-placed side.

Fellow Nigerian international Francisca Ordega featured as a 65th-minute substitute, adding fresh energy to the attack.

Next up, Plumptre, Ordega, and their teammates face a stern test against table-toppers Al Nassr next Saturday, in a highly anticipated clash
