Super Falcons star Asisat Oshoala delivered a standout performance for Al Hilal on Thursday evening, scoring a brace and delivering an assist to lead her side to a dominant 5-0 victory over Eastern Flames in the Saudi Women’s Premier League.

Oshoala opened the scoring in the Round 14 clash, later provided the assist for the fourth goal, and then returned to wrap up the scoring as the hosts overwhelmed their visitors at the Inaya Medical Colleges Stadium, Footballrover reports.

Asisat Oshoala drives Al Hilal’s second-half demolition

Her latest outing means she now has eight goal contributions in her last six matches, proving her red-hot form.

The Nigerian international has now scored 12 goals in the Saudi Women’s Premier League this season.

Her overall tally for the campaign rises to an impressive 24 goal contributions, including four assists in the league and one in the Saudi Women’s Cup.

The six-time African Women’s Player of the Year has also been prolific across competitions, with 19 goals in total—six coming in the Saudi Women’s Challenge Cup and one in the Saudi Women’s Cup.

The encounter itself was cagey in the opening half, with both sides struggling to find a breakthrough.

However, the 31-year-old Nigerian and her teammates came alive after the restart, turning the game into a one-sided affair.

After a quiet first half, the breakthrough arrived just two minutes after the restart when Oshoala tapped home from close range, finishing off a neat assist from Al Bandari Mobarak.

The floodgates opened quickly. Eight minutes later, Kheira Hamraoui doubled the lead, again set up by the influential Al Bandari, who was pulling all the strings in midfield.

By the hour mark, Al Bandari capped off her brilliant display with a well-taken goal to make it 3-0 and effectively put the game beyond reach.

There was still time for more. Hamraoui grabbed her second of the night in the 73rd minute after a smart pass from Oshoala, before the Nigerian star returned to complete the rout with her brace in the 80th minute.

Her performance ultimately earned her well-deserved Player of the Match honours.

The emphatic win has now ended their frustrating run of three matches, during which Al-Hilal suffered two defeats and one draw.
