Asisat Oshoala At The Double For Barcelona, Ramon Azeez Stars In Granada Win

The Super Falcons forward came on as a substitute and grabbed two late goals to lift the Catalans past Athletic Bilbao with a 0-3 away victory.

Barcelona Ladies claimed their first win of the year as an Asisat Oshoala brace and a Mariona Caldentey strike handed Lluís Cortés side a thoroughly deserved victory.

Barca started the game with the confidence of a side that have won their last 14 matches in all competitions, but Bilbao stood their ground to keep the scoreline levelled at halftime.

The Cules’ attack finally kicked into gear when Oshoala was introduced on the hour mark. Four minutes later, the visitors were in front after Mariona applied the finishing touch to a Jenni Hermoso delivery.

Oshoala then smashed the second goal into the top corner from the edge of the box before completing her brace with five minutes left on the clock. The Nigerian international now has 10 goals in 13 league games for the Blaugranes.

Barcelona have now won 13 of their 14 league matches, drawing the other one. The league leaders boast 40 points, 7 points and 36 goals better than champions Atletico Madrid in second.

Meanwhile, at the Los Carmenes, Ramon Azeez helped home side Granada get the better of Mallorca with a 1-0 scoreline.

The Super Eagles midfielder was introduced at the start of the second half to help Granada preserve a first half lead obtained via an Angel Montoro strike.

The win lifts Granada up to 10th on the La Liga table with 27 points.
