Tabitha Chawinga scored the winner as Jiangsu Suning secured a 1-0 triumph over Francisca Ordega’s Shanghai in a Chinese Women’s Super League contest on Saturday.
Before the tie, Jiangsu was aiming for a second win on the bounce after a 3-2 win at Thembi Kgatlana and Linda Molthalo’s Beijing Phoenix last week with Chawinga on target.
On the other hand, Shanghai shared similar aspirations after Nigeria’s Ordega provided a superb assist in their 5-2 win against Changchun Dazhong Zhuoyue in their opener.
This week, Malawi's Chawinga outshined the 2018 African Women’s Footballer of the Year finalist as her solitary effort ensured Jiangsu condemned Shanghai to their first loss of the season.
