No Oshoala as Nigeria's Oghiabekhva scores but Minsk lose to Barcelona

Emuidzhi Oghiabekhva scored in Minsk's 3-1 loss to Barcelona despite Asisat Oshoala's absence from Wednesday’s Women's Champions League Round of 16 game.

The Nigeria international continued her impressive form for Volodymyr Reva's team in the Champions League this season, scoring her 10th goal in seven games.

After a goalless draw at half time, the 29-year-old striker put the Belarusian champions in front in the 60th minute of the game.

However, the visitors secured an equaliser seven minutes later through Alexia Putellas before Marie Caldentey's 80th-minute goal and Patri Guijarro's 85th-minute goal ensured the passage to the quarter-final.
