Oshoala's Hat-Trick Leads Al Hilal to Cup Final

Asisat Oshoala produced an impressive performance on Thursday, scoring a hat-trick that propelled Al Hilal Women to a commanding 5-1 victory against Al Qadsiah Women, securing their place in the Saudi Women’s Cup final with a 7-2 aggregate win. The six-time African Player of the Year scored twice in the first half and completed her hat-trick in the 73rd minute.

Oshoala opened the scoring in the 36th minute with a brilliant right-foot strike from outside the penalty area. Just two minutes later, Kheira Hamraoui assisted Jessica Silva to double the lead.

Although Ajara Nchout reduced the deficit for Al Qadsiah in the 42nd minute, Oshoala restored Al Hilal's two-goal cushion shortly after. She completed her hat-trick with a calm finish from the left side of the box, assisted by Al Bandari Mobarak.

Oshoala also won a penalty in the 89th minute, which Ghizlan Chebbak converted in stoppage time, sealing an emphatic victory. Al Hilal will face either Al Ula Women or Al Nassr Women in the final.

Oshoala, who joined Al Hilal on a two-year deal in the summer, has scored 23 goals and provided six assists this season.
