Kenyan striker Nekesa has clinched both the golden boot and Czech league title for the second year in a row.

Harambee Starlets striker Marjolen Wafula Nekesa has solidified her place as a dominant force in Czech Women's Football, clinching her second Czech Women's First League title with Slavia Prague.

Nekesa played a pivotal role as Slavia Prague secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over Slovacko, sealing their 23rd league crown.

Joining Slavia Prague in 2022, the 25-year-old striker has quickly made her mark, earning the league's top-scorer title for the second consecutive season.

Nekesa's remarkable feat of scoring 22 goals in just 14 games played highlights her exceptional talent and goal-scoring prowess.

Slavia Prague's dominant performance throughout the season culminated in their third consecutive league title, showcasing their resilience and consistency on the pitch. 

The team's impressive unbeaten run of 23 league games further underscores their dominance in Czech Women's Football.

Adding to the excitement, Nekesa and her teammates have their sights set on securing the double in Wednesday's cup final, where they are set to face Slovacko once again. 

The opportunity to clinch another trophy serves as further motivation for Nekesa and her teammates to continue their winning streak.

In Saturday's decisive victory over Slovacko, Slavia Prague wasted no time asserting their dominance, with Martina Surnovska opening the scoring within the first 10 minutes. 

Haleigh Stackpole extended their lead to 2-0 just four minutes later, setting the tone for a commanding performance.

Tamara Moravkova sealed the victory for Slavia Prague in the second half, ensuring their qualification for the Champions League next season. 

Nekesa's consistent contributions both as a goal-scorer and team player have been instrumental in Slavia Prague's success, earning her recognition as one of the league's standout performers.

Beyond domestic success, Nekesa has also showcased her talent on the international stage, playing a pivotal role in Slavia Prague's campaign in the UEFA Women's Champions League.

Her notable performances, including a goal against Olimpia Cluj and a cameo appearance in a victory over SKN St. Polten, have further solidified her reputation as a rising star in women's football.
