Super Falcons forward Asisat Oshoala was back among the goals on Thursday evening as she struck the net in Al Hilal’s 2–0 win away to Eastern Flames in the Saudi Women’s Premier League.

Oshoala opened the scoring and set the tone for Al Hilal’s victory at the Prince Saud bin Jalawi Stadium, Footballrover reports.

Asisat Oshoala lifts Al Hilal early

Leading the line in a 4-1-4-1 setup, she delivered her sixth league goal of the season, pushing her tally to eight goal contributions in seven matches.

The 31-year-old forward, who featured for 90 minutes, has now scored in every league appearance this campaign except the narrow defeat to Al Ula on November 15.

Her breakthrough arrived in the 43rd minute after a tight opening spell, giving the visitors a slim advantage at the break.

Al Hilal carried their momentum into the second half, and Al Bandari Mobarak doubled the lead just 17 minutes after the restart.

The win was a timely response after back-to-back losses against Al Nassr and Al Ula.

With this result, Oshoala and her teammates climbed to second place on 15 points and will now turn their attention to next week’s clash with Al Qadsiah.
