Oshoala wins golden boot, ball

Nigeria’s Falconets may have been beaten by Germany in the final of the U-20 women’s World Cup in Canada, but the team set a standard and history that will outlive Canada 2014 edition of the tournament.
After 32 games, Falconets goal poacher, Asisat Oshoala led in the individual awards, crowning her efforts in Canada with a double reward.
Oshaola, who  was the live wire of Nigeria throughout the tournament,  was crowned the most outstanding player of the Canada 2014 FIFA U- 20 Women’s World Cup with the  Adidas golden ball.
The free-scoring forward set several records during the competition and ended it as the leading markswoman to also pocket the adidas Golden Boot.

Nicknamed Superzee by her appreciative team-mates, Nigeria striker  Oshoala owes her accolade to her speed and nose for goal.
As well as serving up two assists, the insatiable Oshoala found the back of the net seven times in all, reaching her peak in the semi-final against Korea DPR, when she became only the third player in the history of the competition to score four goals in a single game.
Her tournament haul is the most ever by a Nigerian player, taking her past compatriots, Desire Oparanozie, Ebere Orji and Cynthia Uwak, each of whom scored five FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup goals.
