The striker missed a large chunk (four months) of the season through injuries but her impressive start to the campaign helped her stay in contention for the prestigious award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After winning the Pichichi on Sunday, Oshoala became the third Barcelona player after Sonia Berm\u00fadez and Jennifer Hermoso to claim the award since its inception in 2005. While Sonia has won the award four times, Hermoso has claimed the award a record five times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oshoala also became the second non-Spanish player to win the Golden Boot award after Mexican Charlyn Corral, who claimed it in the 2017\/18 season. Also, it was also a memorable season for another Nigerian forward Rasheedat Ajibade, whose 10 goals helped Atletico Madrid finish fourth on the log.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Originally published at Punch<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ebenezer Bajela Despite a season blighted by injuries, Nigeria international Asisat Oshoala fended off competition from Real Madrid\u2019s Geyse to claim the 2021\/22 Women\u2019s Spanish Primera Division Pichichi award for the league\u2019s top scorer,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7041,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[5],"tags":[715,2362,1402],"class_list":["post-7040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-barcelona","tag-lal-liga","tag-oshoala"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
