Malawian forward Vanesa Chikupila nets hat-trick in Kazakhstan

Malawi women’s national football team attacker, Vanesa Chikupila, scored a hat-trick for her club in the Kazakhstan Women’s Super League on Monday, June 9.

The forward’s treble helped BIIK Kazygurt to cruise to a 12-0 demolition of Zhetysu Taldykorgan.

The Malawian’s teammates were also on the scoresheet to complete the comprehensive win. Gabelia led the charge with five goals, while Maria Serrant, Alina Lozukova, Fatima Satygalieva, and Jasmine each added one.
