Emuidzhi Oghiabekhva: Nigeria striker's goal hands Minsk's Champions League advantage vs Zurich

Emuidzhi Oghiabekhva scored the match-winner as Minsk secured a 1-0 win over Zurich in Wednesday's Women's Champions League Round of 32, first leg encounter.

Oghiabekhva, who scored five goals in three games during the play-off in August, continued her fine scoring form as she handed Volodymyr Reva's ladies a first-leg lead against the Swiss giants in Minsk.

It took the Nigerian only 21 minutes into the match to put her team ahead - and that proved to be the only goal at the Minsk Stadium.

The 29-year-old, who featured from start to finish alongside Cameroon midfielder Alvina Niyolle has now scored six goals in four games in the competition for the Belarusian outfit.
