Coleman and Payne face Oshoala as 10 Africans meet in Copa de la Reina quarter-final

Nigeria's Asisat Oshoala and Barcelona have been drawn against Namibia's Zenatha Coleman and Nigerian Toni Payne's Sevilla in the 2021 Spanish Copa de la Reina quarter-final.

This will be the 22nd meeting between the two teams in all competitions since the first in 2004 and fifth this year, following a 4-0 victory celebrated by Barcelona at Sevilla last month.

The two teams also met in the competition last term, with Oshoala's brace leading the Catalans to a 6-0 semi-final win on their route to claiming a fifth Copa de la Reina crown in their history.
