Joy Omewa’s goal lifts Fortuna Hjorring to Danish Elitedivisionen summit

By Oyediji Oluwaseun Babatunde

Nigeria forward Joy Omewa played a key role in Fortuna Hjørring’s 2-1 victory against Nordsjælland in a thrilling Danish Elitedivisionen clash on Sunday.

Omewa opened the scoring in the 42nd minute, receiving the ball at the edge of the box and making a dynamic run inside to unleash a powerful left-footed shot at the Nord Energi Arena.

However, the match took a dramatic turn when Anna Walter equalized for Nordsjælland just five minutes into the second half, setting the stage for an exciting final 40 minutes.

Fortuna Hjørring regained the lead in the 61st minute, thanks to Shiho Matsubara’s right-footed strike from inside the box, sealing the victory for the hosts.

The 21-year-old Omewa played 79 minutes before being substituted for Samantha Kuhne. With her performance, she has now scored seven goals and provided three assists in 11 league games this season.

This win propelled Fortuna Hjørring to the top of the league table with 27 points, boasting a superior goal difference over Nordsjælland. They will next face KoldingQ on November 10 in another league encounter.
