Asisat Oshoala scored the decisive goal in the 75th minute to lead Bay FC to a 1-0 victory over Racing Louisville FC at PayPal Park this past weekend.
The goal marked Oshoala’s fourth of the season, maintaining her status as the team’s top scorer.
Notably, three of her four goals this season have been crucial game-winners.
