Serie A: Osimhen nets one, grabs assist as Napoli pip Cagliari 2-1

Super Eagles striker and current African footballer of the year, Victor Osimhen was highly instrumental for Napoli as he contributed a goal and assist to help Partenopei return to winning ways.

Napoli defeated Cagliari 2-1 on Saturday evening.

Osimhen put the Serie A champions ahead with a towering header on 69 minutes before Cagliari canceled it moments later with Zito Luvumbo setting up Leonardo Pavoletti for  an equalizer.

Few minutes later, Osimhen then lashed on to a loose ball before drawing six players around him by juggling the ball with his chest and knee with his back to goal, managed to turn and get the pass back to Kvicha Kvaratskhelia who slotted it into the net.

Osimhen has netted seven times in 12 league appearances for the Serie A defending champions in the current season.
