Nicknamed Agba Baller, 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.

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.
