Asisat Oshoala delivered a standout performance with two goals and an assist as Al Hilal Women ended their Saudi Women’s Premier League campaign with a dominant 5-0 victory over Eastern Flames.
The Nigerian forward, a six-time African Women’s Player of the Year, capped off an impressive season by taking her tally to 12 goals and four assists in 13 league appearances, helping her side snap a three game winless run in emphatic fashion.
After a goalless first half, Al Hilal came alive in the second period with a ruthless attacking display.
Oshoala opened the scoring just two minutes after the restart, setting the tone for a commanding performance. The hosts quickly extended their lead, scoring twice within five minutes to make it 3-0 by the hour mark.
