Oshoala chasing golden boot

With seven goals to her name at Canada 2014,  Nigeria’s Asisat Oshoala has become the  U-20 Women’s World Cup  leading scorer. She is also the new leader in the race to finish as Canada 2014 top scorer , ahead of Germany’s duo of Sara Dabritz and Pauline Bremer.
Oshoala is following the footsteps of legendary Christine Sinclair and North Korea’s 2006 star, Kim Un-Hwa.The Falconets’ four-goal heroine, who made five appearances without finding the net at Japan 2012, moved beyond previous record-holders, Desire Oparanozie, Ebere Orji and Cynthia Uwak – all of whom had five – when she completed her hat-trick. By increasing her tally further, she became only the third player in the tournament’s history to score more than three times.
Wednesday’s semi final clash between Nigeria and Korea DPR  served  as the highest-scoring semi-final the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup  tournament has ever witnessed, comfortably eclipsing Germany’s 5-1 victory over Korea Republic in 2010.
Speaking on her performance, Asisat Oshoala said the goals just came.
“I never expected to score this much, the chances came and I just utilise them.
We had a good fighting spirit because we had told ourselves that  nobody was going to take our glory from us. We made that promised, so winning the semi finals means victory at the finals, I am glad I got the most valuable player for the third time. I dedicate it to my coaches and team mates.”
