Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker for Napoli, made an impressive impact as a substitute in their match against Lecce.
Coming on in the second half, Osimhen scored his fifth Serie A goal of the season, heading in a cross from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
This goal puts him joint top on the list of the league’s top scorers alongside Lautaro Martinez.
Although Osimhen had a chance to add to his tally from the penalty spot, he left it to his teammate Matteo Politano, who successfully converted it.
Napoli’s coach explained that Osimhen didn’t start the game due to squad rotation.
Osimhen’s recent TikTok video controversy was brushed off by the coach, who emphasized the striker’s impressive performance on the field.
In another match, Nigerian forward Paul Onuachu scored his third goal in as many matches for Trabzonspor, helping them secure a 2-1 victory over Pendikspor.
