Asisat Oshoala scored a brace yesterday and unveiled a T-shirt dedicated to her step-mother who died recently as Barcelona defeated Rayo Vallecano 7-0 at the Johan Cruyff Stadium in Barcelona.
This was one of the league leader’s games in hand.
There was a minute silence before the match in honour of Oshoala’s step-mother.
Barca dominated from the beginning with Mariona testing the Rayo keeper in the 2nd minute.
Jenni Hermoso gave Barca the lead in the 4th minute after what looked like a ping pong game in the Rayo area.
The ball bounced between several Barcelona players in the crowded Rayo Vallecano 6 yard box before Hermoso stabbed it into the goal.
Aitana doubled the lead in the 11th minute and then Oshoala extended it in the 15th minute.
Deadly winger Caroline Graham Hansen fired a long range shot which the Rayo keeper parried, but the 4 time African footballer of the year booted in the rebound. She then lifted up her jersey to reveal a T-shirt that was dedicated to her step-mother who died a few days ago.
