Super Falcons’ star Asisat Oshoala was instrumental in Bay FC’s thrilling come-from-behind victory over San Diego Wave FC in their National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) matchday 9 clash.
San Diego struck first in the 23rd minute through Kyra Carusa’s left-footed shot from a corner. However, Bay FC refused to surrender. Oshoala, a constant threat throughout the match, provided tireless support for her teammates on both ends of the pitch. Her pace and skill kept San Diego’s defense on edge, drawing numerous fouls.
Bay FC’s persistence paid off in the 55th minute when Scarlett Camberos scored the equalizer. Camberos received a well-placed pass from Kiki Pickett, which she expertly converted into a goal, bringing Bay FC back into the contest. The team continued to press forward, seeking the winning goal.
Their perseverance was finally rewarded in the 87th minute when a Hanna Lundkvist own goal secured the victory for Bay FC. This win not only highlighted the team’s determination but also underscored their ability to capitalize on the opposition’s mistakes.
Asisat Oshoala and her Bay FC teammates will now look to build on this momentum as they prepare to face Gotham FC next weekend. With their recent performance, Bay FC has demonstrated that they are a force to be reckoned with in the NWSL.
