Nigeria striker Osimhen lashed home the winning penalty in the 74th minute, after missing from the spot just after half-time, to take his league-leading tally to 23 just a few days after netting the goal which sealed Napoli’s third Scudetto with a record-equalling five matches to play.
“I had the confidence I would score the second one. It’s a good feeling to get the goal,” said Osimhen to DAZN. Packed bars and restaurants did a roaring trade with locals and tourists alike decked out in the blue as a festive but relaxed mood dominated the city. But once the match got underway a torpor slowly washed over the ground, not helped by two teams with nothing to play for going through the motions and Napoli creating next to nothing.
