Nigerian sensation Asisat Oshoala scored in Barcelona’s 3-0 victory over Barcelona Ladies in the UEFA women’s Champions League competition on Wednesday, March 24.
The Catalan giants take a giant first-leg win in the quarter-final, but it is not yet over as they need to prevent the Citizens from responding when they face-off in the return leg.
And it was Oshoala who opened the scoring in style in the 35th minute with a milestone strike to make it the club’s 100th goal of the competition.
Mariona Caldentey made it 2-0 from the penalty spot in the 53rd minute before Jennifer Hermoso wrapped it up in style with a late goal four minutes from time to make it 3-0.
The reverse fixture will take place in England on March 31 and City will now have a herculean task in their bid to overturn the first-leg loss.
Recall that Oshoala was also on the score sheet as they defeated Rayo Vallecano 4-0 away on Saturday, March 20, in the Spanish Iberdrola League.
The Super Falcons captain scored Barcelona's second in the 31st minute after Ana Crnogorcevic had opened the scoring in the 15th minute.
Two second-half goals from Kheira Hamraoui and Lieke Martens completed the rout as Barcelona recorded their 20th win of the league season.
