The shirtless iconic photo of Nigeria’s Asisat Oshoala in celebration of her brilliant score against Australia at the Lang Park Stadium has caused a stir on social media. 

Naija News reports that Asisat became the first African player to score at three editions of the FIFA Women’s World Cup after defeating Australia by 3 goals to 2 in the ongoing competition.

Oshoala started the game on the bench but was introduced in the second half at 1-1 and changed the direction of the game.

However, in the 72nd minute of the game, Oshoala scored a spectacular goal, yanking off her jersey to celebrate the feat. 

The singular act by Oshoala has stirred fans to feel happier for the star player, whilst leaving others feeling weary for her safety due to her religion.
