Oshoala makes Bay FC history with third goal of the season

Asisat Oshoala made history on Saturday with her 76th-minute penalty kick which stood as the game-winner as her club, the visiting Bay FC topped Racing Louisville 1-0 at Lynn Family Stadium in Kentucky, USA.

The Nigerian not only attempted Bay FC’s first penalty kick in club history, she also scored the first penalty kick in Bay FC history.

It was also her third goal of the season with the former Barcelona Femeni star scoring all her three goals away from the club’s PayPal Park Soccer stadium in San Jose, California. She is tied for the team lead in goals this campaign with Tess Boade.

The goal was Bay FC’s first game-winning one after the 75th minute on the road this season.

Oshoala has now helped the club to earn their second consecutive win, while also recording their third clean sheet of not only the campaign but also for the first time in club history.

Bay FC are just the second team to earn a win at Louisville this season, while also earning a shutout.

The only other team to accomplish this in 2024 is the Washington Spirit. Two of Bay FC’s three shutouts this season have come in road matches.
