In Spain, Asisat Oshoala could not follow up with her scintillating performance last weekend as he fired blanks in Barcelona’s 3-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano in the Primera División de la Liga de Fútbol Femenino.
Oshoala scored four goals in the 6-0 win, but she was shut out by Rayo despite playing the entire duration of the game.
Oshoala has scored 14 goals in 15 league matches this term and is second in the leaders board, behind teammate Jennifer Hermoso, who got a brace on Sunday.
Against Rayo, Patricia Guijarro (24′) and Hermoso (26′, 61′) fired the hosts into a big lead and the Culés were looking good for their 17th consecutive win in all competitions.

However, the visitors pulled one back in the 62nd minute through Shella Garcia Gomez, but it proved to be just a consolation.
Barcelona last lost a game in the UEFA Women’s Champions League final against Lyon in 2019, and have now gone on a 23-game unbeaten streak.
Lluís Cortés’s side extend their lead on the table, putting some more daylight between them and champions Atletico Madrid.
They’ve picked up 46 points from 16 league games already this season.
