4 goals not about me — Oshoala

NIGERIA’S four-goal heroine Asisat Oshoala spoke after the Super Falcons defeated Mali 6-0 and said she had no personal ambition at the ongoing Women’s Africa Nations Cup.

“This is just the first match and our approach was not to concede in the first 20 minutes. When we went into the dressing room, we came back stronger in the second half and did better.

“Basically it is not about Asisat Oshoala, rather the whole Nigerian team. I did not come with a target in mind to win the Most Valuable Player or the top scorer, rather to make my country [Nigeria] proud. And also to show the rest of Africa that we are still around and this is the only way to make that statement.”
