Bay FC made history with their first goal in the 17th minute, courtesy of Nigerian striker, Asisat Oshoala.
The Nigerian Superstar Asisat Oshoala has etched her name into Bay FC’s history books, by becoming the first player to score for the newly formed National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) side.

Oshoala, while reflecting on her historical goal, said that winning games takes only one opportunity.
“Sometimes all it takes is one opportunity,” Oshoala said after the game. “We took ours today, and to be honest, after I put it away, I had to do a double-take to make sure I wasn’t offside.”
