Ella Touon was one of the many standout performers against WFC Aktobe on Wednesday evening. The left-sided forward was a genuine hattrick hero in Anouk Bruil’s side. Thanks in part to Touon’s goals, the Ajax Women secured an emphatic 8–0 victory. It earned her the match ball, although it initially had to be searched for. Not much later, the Ajax player posed with a broad grin alongside the newly acquired adidas ball. 'I haven’t scored a hat-trick since I was seven.'
