Barbra Banda signed a three-year contract with Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank at the beginning of the year with the goal to win the Women's Super League championship. She came to the sidelines after training. She took off her boots and put them in her bag before sitting cross-legged on the grass and sharing her story.

Whether it was a 5-0 victory over Zhejiang Hangzhou Women's Football Team in the first round, a 4:1 defeat of Changchun Volkswagen in the second round, or a small victory over Guangdong Meizhou Wuhua 1-0 in the third round, Banda scored every game and was wonderful. Facing the goalkeeper, she hangs the goal calmly; high-speed advances, she breaks into the penalty area; catches the ball in the front court, she organizes support. Banda hits the opponent's defense time and time again, showing offensive talent.
