Oshoala always on the score-sheet

Recall that Asisat Oshoala January 14, continued with her impressive form this season for Barcelona netting a brace against Sporting Huelva.

It was a good win for the forward and her teammates who recorded an emphatic 3-0 win over the hosts in what was a tough encounter.

The Nigerian scored the first goal for Barcelona in the 21st minute before Mariaona doubled the lead in the 32nd minute. Oshoala scored her second goal in the 57th minute during the emphatic win.

Barcelona Femeni thrown out of Spanish Cup

Sports Brief earlier reported that Spanish giants FC Barcelona have been kicked out of Spain's top domestic women's cup competition for fielding an ineligible player.

The Catalan club recorded a 9-0 triumph in the round of 16 of the Copa de la Reina two weeks ago, but their opponents Osasuna claimed the domestic champions fielded an unqualified player.

Geyse Ferreira, who scored one of Barcelona's nine goals, should have supposedly faced a one-match ban after she was sent off in the competition last season while at Madrid CFF.
