Asisat Oshoala’s goal against Australia in the FIFA Women’s World Cup made her become the first African player to score at three seperate editions of the competition.

Oshoala scored in the 72nd minute to take Nigeria’s tally to three on the night and ensure a famous victory for the Super Falcons.

She capitalized on a defensive error to covert from a tight angle in what bore a similarity with her goal in 2019.

The 3-2 victory over Australia puts Nigeria at the top of Group B with 4 points, needing just one point from the last group game against the Republic of Ireland to make it to the second round.
