'Our hard work paid off' - Ohale pleased with Tacon's derby win over Madrid CFF

Tacon defender Osinachi Ohale has expressed delight over her side's 4-3 Primera Iberdrola triumph over Madrid CFF on Sunday.

Ohale joined the top-flight debutants last September from Swedish side Vaxjo and earned her place in David Aznar's side, with her second goal of the season at Estadio Nuevo Matapinonera.

The Nigeria international's second-half header and Esther Martín-Pozuelo's strike helped the visitors outscore their hosts to earn a comeback victory in the second leg of the Madrid derby.
