Oshoala gave Barcelona a lead for the first time in the game on the 63rd minute. The Super Falcons star’s goal followed key introductions to Barcelona including captain Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmati.

Putellas made it three for the European champions in the 74th minute and was provider fourteen minutes later to help Caldentey to her goal on the night.

Jennifer Hermoso completed the rout and extended Barcelona’s winning run to 28 in as many games.

It was Oshoala’s 20th goal of the season in 18 league games.
