Nigerian striker Joy Omewa continued her red-hot form on Saturday, scoring the opening goal in Fortuna Hjørring’s 2-0 victory over Odense Q in the Danish Women’s League, extending her league scoring streak to four consecutive matches.

 

The 22-year-old forward struck in the first half with a clinical finish, setting the tone for Fortuna’s dominant display and securing a crucial three points in their title push. The goal takes Omewa’s league tally to five goals, confirming her place among the top forwards in the division.

 

Her recent scoring spree has made her a standout performer not just in Denmark’s domestic competition but also in Europe. Omewa has netted four goals in the UEFA Women’s Champions League qualification rounds, bringing her overall total to nine goals in just 11 competitive matches this season.

 

“She’s been immense for us,” a Fortuna Hjørring coach said after the match. “Her movement, hunger, and finishing are top-class, and she’s delivering consistently.”

 

Since her arrival at Fortuna, Omewa has wasted no time justifying the club’s decision to bring her in. Her blend of pace, power, and composure in front of goal has made her a nightmare for defenders and a key figure in the club’s domestic and continental ambitions.

 

Beyond club level, Omewa’s name is increasingly being mentioned among Nigerian football circles, with fans and pundits calling for her inclusion in the Super Falcons setup. Her sharp form and goal-scoring instinct have made her a genuine contender for future national team call-ups.

 

As the season progresses, Omewa will remain central to Fortuna’s quest for silverware, both in the league and in Europe. With her current momentum, few would bet against her extending her scoring streak even further in the coming fixtures.
