Oshoala scores four for Barcelona in rout of Tacon

Asisat Oshoala was in blistering form, scoring four goals as she led Barcelona to a 6-0 victory against Tacon in Saturday's Spanish Primera Iberdrola contest.

Oshoala's feat included a hat-trick - her first in competitive professional football - scoring a brace in each half of the match.

The Nigeria international set a personal scoring record, coming on the heels of winning the African Women's Player of the Year for the fourth time to equal compatriot Perpetua Nkwocha.
