Oghiabekhva's strike helps Minsk squeeze past Split

Emuidzhi Oghiabekhva scored the match-winner as Minsk edged past Split in Saturday's 2-1 Uefa Women's Champions League encounter.

Nigeria's Oghiabekhva, who scored four goals in the Belarusian Queens 12-0 thrashing of Luxembourg's Bettembourg last Wednesday, was the heroine of the match for Minsk.

Tamila Khimich opened the scoring for Minsk just 13 minutes into the encounter at Metalist Stadium.

However, Split, who bowed 3-2 to Ukranian hosts Zhytlobud in their opener, secured the equaliser in the 33rd minute.

Oghiabekhva scored 20 minutes after the restart through Anastasia Shuppo's assist to ensure victory for Minsk.
