Oshoala backs release of kidnapped pupils, teachers in Oyo
SUPER Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala delivered a powerful message beyond football after Nigeria’s 2-1 victory over Senegal in an international friendly on Friday, Soccernet.ng reports.
The nine-time African champions defeated the Teranga Lionesses at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne as part of preparations for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Nigeria dominated much of the encounter, with Oshoala opening the scoring from the penalty spot in the 32nd minute before Toni Payne doubled the advantage shortly before halftime. Senegal pulled one back late in the game, but the Super Falcons held on to secure a deserved victory.
