After the third round of China's top women's football league which finished last Saturday, Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank temporarily ranked second in the standings with three wins in a row. Banda scored in each of the three games.

Cutting into the penalty area and chipping the ball over the goalkeeper, Banda's offensive talent was a showcase on the pitch. "I had some experience in Spain. I thought maybe it is time for me to try something new in China," she said. "No matter where I am, winning is my only goal."

Last year, Banda, who played for Spain's EDF Logrono, staged a hat-trick in the women's football match against Real Madrid to help the team reverse and win. At the beginning of the year, Banda transferred from EDF Logrono to Shanghai Rural Commercial Bank.
