Liverpool striker Asisat Oshoala etched her name into African football folklore by becoming the first player from the continent to feature in the FA Women’s Super League.
The Nigeria international entered the history books on Wednesday night when she stepped out on to the Select Security Stadium pitch as back-to-back champions Liverpool tackled Sunderland.
One of England’s UEFA Women’s Champions League representatives, The Reds, slipped to a shock 2 – 1 loss at the hands of The Lady Black Cats.
In the first half, with the scoreboard reading 1 – 0 in favour of Sunderland, Oshoala had a golden opportunity to make it 1 – 1, but her shot missed the target.
On a personal note, the Falcons star has admitted that she was sad to lose on her Women’s Super League bow, and her inability to open her Liverpool goal scoring account, albeit in an official match.
”I am disappointed that we lost and I failed to score,” Asisat Oshoala said briefly to SL10.ng.
With 17 minutes remaining, Asisat Oshoala made way for England youth international Lucy Staniforth.
The current African Women’s Footballer of the Year is contractually bound to Liverpool until the end of next season.
