Osimhen nets brace to help Napoli defeat Udinese
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen netted a brace to help Napoli defeat Udinese 2-1 in their Italian Serie A league game on Saturday.
The visitors shocked Napoli in the first half as Gerard Deulofeu scored in the 22nd minute to put Udinese ahead in the game.
With Napoli behind into the first half break, Osimhen, who came in from the bench in the second half, rescued the home team, putting up brilliant performance that helped Napoli bounce back.
In the 52nd minute, Osimhen gave Napoli a brilliant equaliser, cancelling out Deulofeu’s goal.
Osimhen made it two for Napoli in the 63rd minute, netting a winner that threw fans into huge euphoria at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Maintaining 64 ball possession with eight shots on target, Napoli grabbed a deserved three points from Udinese who had 36 ball possession and just three shots on target.
Napoli are currently second on the Italian Serie A log with 63 points in 30 games, trailing League leaders, AC Milan, who have 63 points, more goals and a pending game.
