Oshoala Sets Record For New Club, BAY FC In US Soccer League

Super Falcons star, Asisat Oshoala, wrote her name in the history books for her new club, BAY FC in the NWSL on Sunday with a debut goal.

Oshoala scored the club’s first-ever goal in the National Women’s Soccer League against Angel City to lead BAY FC to a 1-0 win in their first match of the season.

The former Arsenal striker joined the club from Barcelona in the January transfer window, bringing an end to her five-year stay in Spain to begin a new chapter in the United States of America.

She wasted no time in introducing herself to her new employers with a well-taken strike in the 17th minute which handed BAY FC the maximum points.

Oshoala also became the ninth Nigerian player to feature in the NWSL.

The 29-year-old is the reigning African women’s Player of the Year, an award she has won for a record sixth time.

Oshoala will be hoping to continue her goalscoring form when BAY FC takes on Washington Spirit on Sunday at the Audi Field.
