Asisat Oshoalas shirtless celebration in Nigerias 3-2 win over Australia is currently one of the most talked topics in Nigeria and football.

Shirtless goal celebrations inwomens football are not a common occurrence. After guiding the ball to the back of the net in the 72nd minute against Australia, Oshoala pulled off her jersey.

For her celebration, Oshoala was given a yellow card, which is in accordance with Rule 12 of the International Football Association Board (IFAB) law that, A player must be cautioned for removing the shirt or covering the head with the shirt.

This is a look at the female footballers who have had shirtless celebrations.
