The visitors however came back resurgent in the second half with three goals in nine minutes as Oshoala’s Barcelona side immediately went 1-3 down in front of their fans.
With about six minutes of regulation time left to play, Oshoala added a second with a precise header from a corner kick to reduce the deficit giving the home side something to fight for in the remaining minutes.

It was however not to be as Recreativo Huelva held their nerves to see out the game and halt an impressive run of four wins for the Barcelona ladies.
Oshoala’s brace on Wednesday night takes her tally to three goals in two games for the Spanish giants in just 14 days since she joined the Spanish outfit.
