Oshoala, who is currently in Spain for the Super Falcons' Paris 2024 Olympics camp, tuned in to the second semi-final between Uruguay and Colombia last night.

During the match, she made a post on her official X account asking her followers to tune in and see how intense and physical the match was between the two teams.

South American football is typically physical, and according to The Athletic, there have been an average of 26.5 fouls per game at the ongoing tournament.

Uruguay vs Colombia, which got Oshoala’s attention, had 24 fouls in 90 minutes. The referee issued eight yellow cards, two of which were for argument and time-wasting and one red card to Daniel Munoz.

Colombia will face Argentina in the final. The 2021 final involving Brazil and the World champions had 41 fouls and eight yellow cards.
