[Watch]: Asisat Oshoala back with a bang as rampant Barcelona Femeni hit cloud 9

Nigeria’s Asisat Oshoala was among the scorers as Barcelona Femeni ran riot against Levante Las Planas in the Spanish Liga-F on Saturday night.

Barcelona stunningly kicked off 2024 following a comprehensive 9-1 thrashing of their visitors, with African Women’s Player of the Year, Oshoala ending her goal drought. 

There were eight different scorers on the night for Barcelona, including Super Falcons superstar, Oshoala.

Oshoala, 29, started the game on the bench and watched as her teammates unleashed their venom on their poor visitors. 

The reigning African Player of the Year came off the bench to play for 29 minutes before she registered her name on the score sheet. 

Oshoala’s strike against Las Planas ended a run of six matches without a goal for the club, with her last goal coming against SL Benfica in the Women’s Champions League back in November.

Salma Paralluelo opened the floodgate as early as the fourth minute when she fired Barcelona to a 1-0 lead.

Mariona doubled the lead in the 23rd minute from the spot before Altana made it 3-0 four minutes later.

Norway’s Graham will make it 4-0 five minutes from half time to give the hosts a commanding lead at the break.

After the break, Barcelona made it 6-0 courtesy of goals from Pina and Patri, who scored a brace, before Las Planes made it a more respectable score line by pulling one goal back in the 63rd minute to make it 6-1. 

Two more goals followed before Nigeria’s Oshoala came off the bench to wrap up things with a ninth goal in added time. 

Barcelona’s win was the 13th of the season and saw them extend their winning streak to 13 wins in 13 matches, opening up a nine-point lead at the top of the Liga-F standings.
