Oshoala steps up chase for fourth African Women's Player of the Year award with Barcelona goal

Asisat Oshoala was on target as Barcelona ended 2019 in style with a 3-1 thrashing of Tenerife in a Spanish Primera Iberdrola encounter on Saturday.

The Nigeria international has not found the net since netting a brace in her side's 4-0 win over Madrid on October 26 and aimed to finish her awe-impressive year on a high against Tenerife.

The hosts started brightly as the Super Falcons star opened the scoring just 17 minutes into the contest off a brilliant pass from Marta Torrejon at Estadi Johan Cruyff.

Luiz Cortes' team squandered their first-half lead as Aleksandra Zaremba assisted Cristina Martín-Prieto to level matters 16 minutes after the restart.
