Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala produced a sensational display as Al Hilal Ladies demolished Al Ahli Ladies 9-0 to record their first Saudi Women’s League win of the season. Oshoala scored twice and provided two assists, directly involved in four of her side’s nine goals.
A Response After Opening-Day Defeat
The emphatic win marks a major turnaround for Al Hilal, who had opened their league campaign with a 3-1 defeat to Al Ittihad, a club that features fellow Super Falcons star Ashleigh Plumptre. Against Al Ahli, Oshoala picked up right where she left off last season, leading the line with her usual attacking threat and finishing the afternoon as the standout performer.
Super Falcons On Both Sides
The lopsided scoreline also created a notable subplot, with Oshoala coming up against fellow Nigeria international Chinaza Uchendu, who featured for Al Ahli on the losing side. Another Nigerian, Christy Ucheibe, played for Al Hilal and contributed to the rout.
An Early Statement Of Intent
With two goals and two assists in a single match, Oshoala has served early notice of her ambitions for the new campaign, giving Al Hilal a timely confidence boost as they look to build momentum following their opening setback.
