Asisat Oshoala and Ajara Nchout make Women's World Cup Goal of the Tournament shortlist

Nigeria striker Asisat Oshoala and Cameroon winger Ajara Nchout have been named among nominees for the best goal at the just concluded Fifa Women's World Cup in France.

The African pair's goals were among a shortlist of 10 picked by the world football governing body, Fifa on Monday.

Oshoala, who has won the African Women's Player of the Year thrice, will crave the Goal of the Tournament accolade as a consolation for her side's Round of 16 exit.

The Barcelona star's goal sealed Nigeria's 2-0 group stage win over South Korea.
