Unstoppable Oshoala! Super Falcons Star Bags Four-Goal Haul as Al-Hilal Destroy United Eagles 9-0 in SAFF Women’s Cup

Super Falcons forward Asisat Oshoala produced a blistering masterclass on Friday evening, firing in four goals to spearhead Al-Hilal Women’s ruthless 9-0 demolition of United Eagles FC in the SAFF Women’s Cup Round of 16.

Fresh off inspiring a commanding 4-0 away win against Neom SC in the Saudi Women’s Premier League, the 32-year-old Nigerian forward carried her red-hot form into cup competition at the Al Taraji Club Stadium.

Al-Hilal seized control straight from kickoff, suffocating the United Eagles backline with relentless attacking pressure. Oshoala wasted no time making her mark, breaking the deadlock inside four minutes to open the floodgates.

She doubled Al-Hilal’s advantage in the 24th minute before completing a clinical first-half hat-trick three minutes before the interval, sending her side into halftime with a comfortable 3-0 lead.

Any faint hopes of a United Eagles comeback vanished immediately after the restart as Al-Hilal turned up the heat:

47′: Danah Abdulaziz Aldhuhiyan struck just two minutes into the second half to make it 4-0.

49′: Defender Kathellen Sousa added a fifth goal barely 120 seconds later.

54′: Aldhuhiyan grabbed her second of the evening to push the lead to six.

60′ & 64′: Abeer Nasser Alshamiri joined the scoring spree at the hour mark before completing a quickfire four-minute brace to make it 8-0.

71′: With 19 minutes of regulation time remaining, Oshoala returned to cap off the emphatic rout with her fourth goal of the match.

Named Player of the Match for her four-goal exhibition, the six-time African Women’s Footballer of the Year has now found the back of the net in consecutive outings.

Her latest explosion lifts her total goal contributions for the campaign to 15 (11 goals and 4 assists) across all competitions:
