FIFAWWC: Oshoala makes history as Super Falcons edge out Australia

Super Eagles defeat Australia

Oshoala

Asisat Oshoala made history on Thursday after the Super Falcons defeated host nation, Australia, in the ongoing FIFA women world cup.

She made history after becoming the first player to score in three consecutive World Cups.

Oshoala scored in the 3-2 victory against The Matildas after coming on as substitute.

The Barcelona Femeni forward was introduced in the 64th minute after passing a late fitness test.

Oshoala capitalised on a sloppy defending from the co-hosts to score the Super Falcons’ third goal in the thrilling encounter.

Uchenna Kanu and Osinachi Ohale were the other scorers for the Super Falcons in the game.

Oshoala scored her first World Cup goal for the Super Falcons in the 3-3 draw against Sweden at the 2015 edition hosted by Canada.

The 28-year-old was also on target four years ago in the 2-2 draw against South Korea.
