NWSL Playoffs: Asisat Oshoala's goal not enough to see Bay FC through

Published on: 11 November 2024

Nigeria Super Falcons star player Asisat Oshoala scored for Bay FC in the NWSL quarter-final Playoffs, but it was not enough for her team, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Oshoala scored one in their 2-1 loss to Washington Spirit in Bay FC's first-ever playoff match.

The reigning African women's footballer of the year scored from close range after connecting to an assisted by Penelope Hocking's cross in the 82nd minute.

The Spirit restored parity 4 minutes later through defender Tara McKeown to take the encounter to extra time.

However, an own goal by Bay FC's Caprice Dydasco in the first half of extra time sealed the victory for the Spirit at Audi Field.
