Asisat Oshoala Leads Bay FC to Victory with Another Game Winning Goal

Nigeria’s Asisat Oshoala continued her impressive form for Bay FC, scoring her third game-winning goal of the season in a 1-0 triumph over Racing Louisville FC at PayPal Park. Her crucial strike in the 75th minute secured Bay FC’s second consecutive win, boosting their playoff aspirations in the National Women’s Soccer League NWSL.



This was Oshoala’s fourth goal of the season, the highest tally by any player on the team. The goal was set up by debutant Penelope Hocking, who made an immediate impact with her assist. Bay FC head coach Albert Roca praised Oshoala’s contribution, stating, Her ability to score in crucial moments has been a major factor in our recent success.



The victory elevated Bay FC 8-11-0, 24 points to seventh place in the NWSL standings, marking their highest position since Week 4. They are now only three points behind Portland Thorns FC and four points behind fifth placed North Carolina Courage, positioning them within reach of a playoff spot.



The partnership between Oshoala and Hocking was promising, as Hocking assisted on her club debut. This win also marked Bay FC’s second back to back victory and their fourth clean sheet of the season, with goalkeeper Katelyn Rowland earning her third shutout.



As Bay FC chase a playoff berth in their debut season, Oshoala’s form will be crucial. The team has shown a tendency for late game heroics, scoring seven goals after the 70th minute, including in their last two matches. With only five games left, Bay FC will aim to continue their momentum and secure a playoff spot.
