Victor Osimhen in action as Napoli edge past Antalyaspor

The Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen, featured in Napoli’s victory against Antalyaspor on Wednesday evening. 

The Neapolitans needed only 15 minutes to lead 2-0 in the game that kicks off the Turkish trip at the Antalya Stadium.

Although the Super Eagles talisman could not find the back of the net. But his teammate, Giacomo Raspadori, scored a brace for Luciano Spalletti’s men.

The First goal of the match came from the former Sassuolo player, Raspadori, as his brilliant individual effort gives his team the lead in the eighth minute as he angles the ball with his right foot past the keeper.

7 minutes later, Raspadori assists Politano, who takes charge and sends the ball into the back of the net to extend the lead for the Italians.

In the second half of the game, Spalletti replaced almost half of the Naples, which includes the Super Eagles talisman, Osimhen.

Admir Mehmedi pull one back for Antalyaspor with his goal in the 55th minute courtesy of a Luiz Adriano assist, but Raspadori gave the Azzurri the lead again after only six minutes with an assist from Ndombele.

Hakan Zmert doubled the Akrepler’s goal in the 86th minute, but it wasn’t enough to either win or draw the game against the Parthenopeans.

On December 11th, Napoli, under Spalletti, will take on Crystal Palace once again in Turkey.
