The Super Falcons forward and her club had aimed to capitalize on their historic NWSL debut with a victory, but they surrendered a late goal, allowing the home side to steal the win.
In the 11th minute, Oshoala demonstrated her playmaking skills by delivering an exquisite through ball, assisting teammate Dorian Bailey for a close-range finish, granting Bay FC a brief 1-0 advantage.
However, their lead lasted only 12 minutes as the home team equalized through Croix Bethune, who also clinched the victory with a late strike in stoppage time, sealing a 2-1 win for Washington Spirit.
Last week, the 29-year-old made history for Bay FC on their NWSL debut by scoring their first ever goal in the US women topflight.
It took Oshoala 17 minutes to write her name in the club’s history books, scoring the only goal of the game by expertly turning home a pass from Tess Boade.
