The Agba baller started the game on the bench in her annual Celebrity All-Stars and also missed a sitter.
Super Falcons and Barcelona Femeni superstar Asisat Oshoala was the centre of attention and attraction at the Campus Mini Stadium on Monday.
Oshoala, who was the host and special guest, scored a fantastic goal at the seventh edition of the Celebrity All-Stars in Lagos.
The Nigerian international led the Team Naija All Stars team to a come-from-behind 3-1 victory over the Nigerian Entertainers led by dance sensation Poco Lee.
Poco Lee scores but Oshoala gets the last laugh
It was an entertaining game at the Campus Memorial Mini Stadium as Oshoala celebrated the seventh edition of her Celebrity All-Stars.
The 24-year-old started the game on the bench with her Team Naija trailing 1-0 thanks to a fantastic goal from Poco Lee.
Poco was at his utmost best as he truly entertained spectators at the event on the pitch with his deft touches and dribbling and off it with his dance steps.
However, the day truly was for Oshoala who came on in the second half to inspire her friends and family to the remarkable comeback win.
The Barcelona forward scored a fantastic second goal to show why she’s one of the most talented players in the world as her team won 3-1.
Oshoala also had a chance to add to the scoreline earlier on but missed a sitter with an empty goal at her mercy.
She did make amends moments later but couldn’t believe she failed to score a simple tap-in.
Asisat Oshoala Academy flogs Golden Swan
Earlier in the day, the first game of the day saw Oshoala’s Academy put on a show in the day’s curtain raiser.
It was a solid performance from the Oshoala Academy, who proved too good for their counterparts the Golden Swan Queens after a 2-0 win.
The goals were scored in either half to give the Oshoalas a clean sweep in the seventh edition of the event.
The event ended fanfare as youngsters and aspiring footballers had fun with Oshoala and others like Poco Lee, Smash, Sly, Sexy Steel and more who graced the occasion.
