Asisat Oshoala has got her wish to play against many of her friends from her time at Barcelona Femeni today after she was listed to start for the Super Falcons.

The six-time African Player of the Year did not see a minute of action against Brazil even as the Super Falcons struggled in attack.
SCORENigeria learnt she was in top shape for the opening Group C match.
‘Agba Baller’ is one of two changes from the 1-0 loss to the South American champions as coach Randy Waldrum has kept faith with his strongest team.
That means Mexico-based striker Chinwendu Ihezuo drops to the bench.
The other change is Jennifer Echegini out for Esther Okoronkwo.
This is yet another attacking change, which means the nine-time African champions are going for broke against the reigning world champions.
The jittery Chidinma Okeke at leftback keeps her place.
Super Falcons Starting XI vs Spain: Nnadozie – Okeke, Alozie, Ohale, Demehin – Ucheibe, Deborah Abiodun, Toni Payne, Esther Okoronkwo – Ajibade (captain), Oshoala
The team tried against Brazil except the poor finishing. Let Ajibade continue with her performance,but let the coach position skilful finisher Infront who should be ready from crossing from either wings . If Oshoala plays she will be marked closely as she is playing in Spain,but this will be advantage for player working closely with her in case of rebound. I wish them success at the end. Thank you
