Bay FC forward Asisat Oshoala says she is poised to keep making history and winning trophies in her new clime, after scoring the first ever National Women’s Soccer League goal for her new club, as they marked their US women’s topflight debut with a 1-0 win against Angel City on Monday, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
It took Oshoala 17 minutes to write her name in the club’s history books, scoring the only goal of the game by expertly turning home a pass from Tess Boade.
After the game, the 29-year-old, who joined the new American club from Barcelona, was unequivocal about her mission in the NWSL.
“My career has been all about making history, doing crazy things, and I’m very happy to be part of the history of the club, I’ll never forget that,” Oshoala said during a halftime interview on the NWSL-plus broadcast.
“We just wanted to enjoy ourselves, have fun and work with each other, and that’s what we did. We worked for each other. That’s what we’ll do until we get it right,” Oshoala told Mercury News after the game.
