Published: October 17, 2019

Nigeria international striker Asisat Oshoala netted for the third game in a row for Barcelona as they registered a comprehensive 5-0 victory over Belarusian opponents FC Minsk in the first leg of the last sixteen of the UEFA Women's Champions League on Thursday evening.

Oshoala and Minsk striker Emueje Ogbiagbevha started for their respective teams.

The former Arsenal and Liverpool star struck from close range to open the scoring in the sixth minute before Marta Torrejón made it 2-0 to the Spanish side in the 20th minute.

Aitana increased Barcelona's lead in the 22nd minute, firing a low shot into the bottom corner of the net after a delightful pass from Oshoala, then scored again on 26 minutes to make it 4-0.

On the hour mark, the Super Falcons star was replaced by Jenni Hermoso, who wrapped up the scoring with five minutes left on the clock.

Oshoala's streak started on September 29 when Barcelona beat Sevilla 2-0 in the Primera División Femenina and in their next league game she netted the winning goal against Sporting de Huelva.
