Reports after the game are to the effect that Super Falcons captain Asisat Oshoala suffered an injury during proceedings.

For the first time in the Champions League this season, Oshoala did not score and, in the 63rd minute, the Nigerian international was substituted for Ana-Maria Crnogorčević.

It was later revealed that the substitution was not tactical, but the result of the 27-year-old sustaining a knock.
