Nigeria’s Oshoala shines as Barcelona thrash Roya Vallecano 7-0, dedicate goals to late stepmom 

Super Falcons Captain, Asisat Oshoala, dedicated the brace she scared in Barcelona 7-0 victory over Roya Vallecano, on Wednesday, to her late stepmom.

FCB Femino came out strong from last Wednesday’s Super Cup loss to Atletico Madrid, and return to winning ways with an impressive outing against Roya Vallecano in yesterday’s Spanish Primera Iberdrola fixture.

Alexia Putellas set up Jenni Hermoso for the opener as early as the fourth minute.

Seven minutes later, Alexia Putellas doubled the lead for the host thanks to a brilliant pass from Melanie Serrano before Oshoala tapped in the third off Marta Torrejon’s cross in the 15th minute.

Five minutes from half-time, Caroline Graham Hansen teed up Putellas for her brace of the match and Barcelona’s fourth.

After the break, the Calatans continued from where they left off as Kheira Hamraoui sent through a perfect cross for Oshoala to head home to bag her second 14 minutes into the second half.

Melanie Serrano assisted Mapi Leon to score the host’s sixth in the 73rd minute before Aitana Bonmati wrapped up the victory in style thanks to Andrea Falcon’s pass on the brink of time.

Oshoala came in as a late substitute in last Wednesday’s Super Cup loss to Atletico Madrid.
