Oshoala and Alozie are expected to join the Super Falcons camp for the Olympic Games qualifiers against South Africa's Banyana Banyana.

Nigerian star Asisat Oshoala, the reigning African Women's Player of the Year, suffered her first home defeat with her new club Bay FC in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).

The upset came at the hands of Houston Dash, led by fellow Super Falcons star Michelle Alozie.

Oshoala's Bay FC drew first blood after the former Barcelona striker's shot rebounded, and there was Castellanos, who smashed it into the net for Bay FC to get the lead.

Houston Dash Steal Victory from Bay FC in Dramatic Finish

Bay FC's opener, however, ended in heartbreak after Havana Solaun's goal in the 10th minute of stoppage time secured a 3-2 comeback victory for the Houston Dash on Saturday.

After Deyna Castellanos had opened the scoring for Bay FC in the first half, Diana Ordóñez scored a brace in the second half to put Houston Dash in the lead.

However, there was some late drama in the game. Bay FC fought back with a Rachel Kundananji equalizer in the 93rd minute, making her the first Zambian player to score in the NWSL.

However, Houston had the final say. Solaun's last-gasp goal snatched victory for the Dash, giving them their first win of the season.

Meanwhile, Oshoala and Alozie are expected to join the Super Falcons camp for the Olympic Games qualifiers against South Africa's Banyana Banyana.
