Oshoala’s Goal of the Season Candidate in Barcelona’s 5-0 Win over Benfica

Asisat Oshoala exhibited her brilliance on the field with a spectacular bicycle kick, contributing to Barcelona’s commanding 5-0 triumph over Benfica in the UEFA Women’s Champions League opener on Tuesday.

The Super Falcons forward, who had previously scored a brace in Barcelona’s 6-0 victory against Villarreal in the Spanish league over the weekend, seamlessly continued her impressive form.

Aitana Bonmati and Alexia Putellas each netted two goals against Benfica, setting the stage for Asisat Oshoala to cap off the 5-0 rout just one minute after coming off the bench.

Earlier today, Asisat Oshoala and six other Super Falcons players were nominated for this year’s CAF Women’s Player of the year award.
