Super Falcons stars, Asisat Oshoala and Ngozi Sonia Okobi, both scored to help their teams to 1-0 victories in Europe last weekend.
Recreativo Huelva hosted Barcelona on a very terrible pitch (the venue looked like a playground, rather than a proper stadium). The pitch sparked a war of words between Barca fans who say that the pitch should be banned because it is disrespectful to the fans and players to play on that kind of pitch and Huelva fans who say that the best players should be able to play on any type of pitch.
Barca were also missing many key players due to injury. However, Asisat Oshoala saved the day with a phenomenal strike in the 29th minute. It was a very difficult match for Barca due to the pitch, the absence of important players and the fact that Huelva defended in numbers, but Barca fans say that Oshoala saved them from disgrace.
She got the ball, deceived two defenders and bent the ball into the far corner. The keeper was still searching for the ball after it had gone in.

The Samba Princess and Assist Queen, Ngozi Sonia Okobi, scored a remarkable goal in the 62nd minute to give Eskilstuna United a 1-0 victory over Limhamn Bunkeflo. Okobi had a throw in close to the corner flag. The ball was passed back to her and she dribbled her way back into the penalty area and fired a wonderful shot into the goal.
Okobi’s Super Falcons teammate, Halimatu Ayinde was voted player of the match. Eskilstuna wore pink jerseys to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Day.
