Serie A: Osimhen bags goal, assist in Napoli’s 2-1 win over Cagliari

Napoli secured a 2-1 win against Cagliari, with Victor Osimhen stealing the spotlight through a towering header and a thrilling assist.

The Stadio Maradona witnessed a delayed kick-off due to strong winds damaging the roof, adding an unusual prelude to the match.

Napoli, eager to bounce back from consecutive Serie A losses, faced a challenging Cagliari side who are fresh from a dramatic comeback against Sassuolo.

The match began with both teams showing attacking strength, with Osimhen testing Cagliari’s goalkeeper Simone Scuffet and Kvaratskhelia delivering dangerous crosses.

However, Osimhen broke the deadlock with an unstoppable header, only for Cagliari’s Leonardo Pavoletti to level the score with a well-taken goal three minutes later.

The decisive moment came when Osimhen exhibited some skill, juggling the ball amidst multiple defenders, and providing an exquisite assist for Kvicha Kvaratskhelia’s goal.
