Victor Osimhen, a forward for the Super Eagles, scored the game’s second goal against Lecce in Saturday’s Serie A match after coming off the bench.
Osimhen did not make Rudi Garcia’s starting lineup, but the Nigerian attacker scored for the second game in a row following the incident in which a Napoli official was made fun of on TikTok for missing a penalty against Bologna.
After replacing Giovanni Simeone in the second half, the 24-year-old scored shortly after entering the game. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s brilliantly floating cross found Osimhen at the back post, who headed the ball in.
The Nigerian forward left a penalty for his teammate for the second time in a row, despite his mocking miss.
In the waning seconds of the contest, Lecce midfielder Ramadani knocked down replacement Gianluca Gaetano, earning Napoli a penalty. Matteo Politano, another substitute, converted the penalty kick.
On Tuesday of next week, the Partenopei will play Real Madrid in Matchday 2 of the Champions League.
