FIFA has honoured Nigerian U-20 Women's World Cup standout Asisat Oshoala, highlighting her incredible seven-goal performance at the 2014 tournament in Canada, according to PUNCH Sports Extra. FIFA's feature showcased Oshoala's journey from a sluggish start in the group stages to a knockout-round hero, scoring two goals against New Zealand and four against DPR Korea.
Despite Nigeria's final loss to Germany, Oshoala's individual brilliance left a significant impact on the competition. Ranked fourth among the highest scorers in a single edition, she shared the honour with Korea DPR's Kim Un-Hwa and Christine Sinclair and Alexandra Popp, who each netted ten goals in 2002 and 2010 respectively. The Canada 2014 campaign launched Oshoala's career, leading to her first Women's Africa Cup of Nations title and a senior World Cup debut for Nigeria in 2015.
Her accolades continue to grow, with six African Women's Footballer of The Year awards and four WAFCON titles, among numerous other achievements.
