Oshoala scores fifth away goal in Bay FC win

By Daily Sports Nigeria on October 1, 2024

Asisat Oshoala continues to exhibit infectious road strength in the National Women’s Soccer League after recording her fifth away goal for Bay FC in their 1-0 win  at Seattle Reign FC on Sunday, The PUNCH reports.

The Nigeria striker clinically converted from the spot as Bay held off a late push from the home team for a 1-0 win at Lumen Field, moving into the eighth and final playoff position with just four matches remaining on the NWSL regular season schedule.

Tess Boade played a perfectly weighted through ball down the middle for Oshoala, who was tripped up on her way to the goal, earning Bay FC a penalty kick the Nigeria tucked away in the 27th minutes.

It was Oshoala’s second penalty goal of the campaign and her team-leading sixth goal of the season. She has three goals in her last four games for Bay FC.

The 29-year-old former FC Barcelona striker has been prolific on the road and has scored in each of Bay FC’s last two road matches, netting three goals in her last four games for Bay FC, who registered their ninth win overall and fifth on the road the season.

The win left them with 28 points and in the eighth spot alongside Portland Thorns FC, also on 28 points, but Portland hold the edge for the seventh spot due to goal differential.

With the Chicago Red Stars on 29 points falling at home to the North Carolina Courage, Bay FC are now just one point off seventh place in the table. Notably, they are three points clear of Racing Louisville FC with 25 points in ninth place and six points clear of San Diego Wave FC (22 points) in 10th place and Angel City FC (22 points) in 11th place.
