Zambian forward Rachael Kundananji wasted no time etching her name on the scoresheet again, opening the account in Madrid CFF's 2-0 home victory over Villarreal in the Spanish Liga F on Saturday. The Copper Queens striker needed just 21 minutes to register her 8th goal of the season, putting Madrid CFF ahead early. Four minutes later, Cristina Librán doubled the lead for the home side, solidifying their dominance in the 25th minute. This latest strike sees Kundananji level atop the league's top scorers chart with Barcelona's Caroline Graham Hansen, both players boasting 8 goals apiece. After narrowly missing out on the Golden Boot last season by just two goals, Kundananji seems determined to claim the prestigious individual award this time around. Having finished with 25 goals in the 2022/23 campaign, two shy of Alba Redondo's eventual winning tally of 27, Kundananji's current form suggests a serious challenge for the Golden Boot. Her consistency is also crucial for Madrid CFF's ambitions to secure a strong league finish. Under Kundananji's leadership, the team achieved a historic 5th place finish in the 2022/23 campaign, their highest ever ranking. Currently sitting second in the table with 27 points from 12 games, six points behind leaders Barcelona and one ahead of Real Madrid, Madrid CFF is well-positioned to challenge for another high finish.
