Super Falcons forward Joy Omewa proved the difference for Fortuna Hjørring, scoring the only goal in a 1–0 away win over Breiðablik in the first leg of their UEFA Women’s Europa Cup round of 16 tie.
The 22 year old has been in electric form for the Danish side — she has now scored all three of Hjørring’s Europa Cup goals this season, building on her earlier brace over Vorskla Poltava in the previous round.
Omewa’s consistency is not limited to European nights. In the current campaign, she has netted 17 times in 19 appearances across all competitions, including 11 in the domestic league. Her sharp finish in Iceland gives Hjørring a valuable advantage ahead of the return leg in Denmark, scheduled for November 19.

Before returning to Europe, Hjørring will refocus on their domestic title challenge they hope Omewa can carry her hot streak into their weekend league match against OB Q.
Editorial
Joy Omewa’s goal in Iceland was more than a clinical finish it was a declaration. In the sparse, brisk air of a continental evening, she seized the moment and carried her team forward with the quiet confidence of someone who knows she belongs at this level. Her strike was not just the sum of her talent, but of her ambition: to lead her side deep into Europe.
Fortuna Hjørring, a club with tradition and expectation, has found in Omewa more than a goal-scorer. They have unearthed a talisman. Someone who thrives under pressure, who converts opportunity into advantage. In the unforgiving rhythm of European knockout football, that kind of presence can shift the balance.
Yet the journey is far from over. The return leg in Denmark looms, and with it the scrutiny, the stakes, the roar of the home crowd. If Omewa’s composure was evident in Breiðablik, it will be tested under the lights of Hjørring Stadium. But this moment has already reshaped her narrative. She is no longer a rising star she is one of Europe’s rising threats.
Football, especially women’s football, is changing fast. Players like Omewa bold, determined, decisive are not just shaping matches they are reshaping the contours of the game. And if she delivers again at home, she will have written a chapter of legacy.
