On her road to becoming highest goal scorer in the competition, 30-year-old Ogbiagbevha helped Minsk top their group in the first round with three wins out of three games. A lone strike from the Nigerian was all her team needed to win against Zurich in their first leg tie of the round of 32. The former Pelican FC star would go on to register a brace in their second-leg clash against Zurich as they beat the Swiss team 3-1. A painful 8-1 aggregate defeat to Asisat Oshoala’s FC Barcelona Femini in the quarter-final saw Ogbiagbevha register her team’s only goal in the encounter as they were knocked out of the competition.
