Najjemba, has now scored three goals in a row as she also netted against Zvezda 2005 last week as well as at CSKA Moscow W in the Russian Women's Cup two weeks back.

She has now netted six times for Dynamo Moscow since her return from a lengthy injury at the end of June.

Najjemba, is also just as integral for the Crested Cranes. Less than a month back, she guided the team past Rwanda in qualifiers for the 2024 Olympics.
