Super Falcons forward Asisat Oshoala scored her fifth goal in five league games on Sunday as FC Barcelona Women dispatched Atletico Women by two unreplied goals at the Wanda Metropolitano.

In the same vein, Chinaza Uchendu was on target for her side as Rita Chikwelu helped Kristianstad to the Swedish Cup final.

Following her thumping opener against Real Sociedad ladies in midweek, the reigning African Champion was favourite to start in attack in such a game with huge significance.

With a quarter-final UEFA Women’s Champions League tie coming up on Wednesday it remains to be seen if Oshoala will be fit enough to feature for the Barcelona Women.

Meanwhile in Sweden, Super Falcons captain Rita Chikwelu’s Kristianstad defeated Faith Ikidi’s Pitea IF to reach the semi-final of the Women’s Swedish Cup.
