Nicknamed Agba Baller, the Barcelona Femeni forward scored in the 72nd minute of the Falcons’ second game in Group B at the Lang Park Stadium.
Oshoala started the game on the bench but was introduced in the second half at 1-1, ultimately changing the direction of the game.
It was not long after she was introduced that the Falcons earned a corner kick which resulted in a goal scored by Osinachi Ohale.
For her own goal, Oshoala dragged the goalkeeper and a defender expertly to her right before slotting the ball to the far corner.
The striker sprinted towards the corner flag and took off her shirt in wild celebration. Oshoala, however, went into the referee’s book for her action.
