Zambia Women’s National Team striker Racheal Kundananji has set a career-high goal-scoring tally in Spain.
Kundananji moved to Spain in 2021, leaving Kazakhstan side, Biik Kazygurt to join SD Eibar. She has been a thorn in the flesh of defenders ever since.
In her first season in the Primera División Femenina, she scored 8 goals in 21 appearances.
After SD Eibar was relegated from the top flight last season, Madrid CFF signed her in August and she continued her scoring form.
The 22-year-old, who began her career with Ndola-based club Indeni FC, has scored 19 league goals in 21 appearances this season.
Kundananji is toe-to-toe with five-time African female Footballer of the Year award winner Asisat Oshoala in the Spanish Women’s League. The Nigerian has scored 20 goals in 24 appearances for Barcelona this season.
The two are chasing top scorer, Alba Redondo of Spain, who sits at 24 goals in 24 appearances for Levante.
