The Super Falcons star was without her scoring boots in Italy but her team still had enough in the armoury to defeat Juventus 2-0 at the Stadio Moccagatta on Wednesday night in a UEFA Women Champions League first leg playoff.
Asisat Oshoala played the final 20 minutes, coming in for Patri Guijarro with the scores at 1-0, as Barcelona put one solid foot in the next round of the Champions League thanks to goals from Alexia Putellas and Marta Torrejon.

Beaten finalists last May, Barcelona head back to Spain with a two goal advantage on the same night that European champions Olympique Lyon handed a 9-0 humiliation to VDV Ryazan.
VfL Wolfsburg also got in on the high scoring spree by mauling Mitrovica by ten goals to none.
In other results, Bayern Munich Women fought out a 2-1 win to Goteborg in Sweden while Minsk edged a close encounter at home to Zurich.
