Victor Osimhen watched his team
Napoli suffer a significant blow as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Bologna at the Diego Maradona Stadium, denting their hopes of securing a Conference League spot.
Despite the efforts of the Super Eagles star, the Partenopeans were unable to recover from a poor start, conceding two goals in the opening 12 minutes, Footballrover reports.
Osimhen, who featured prominently for Napoli, had a quiet first half but registered a shot on target in the 69th minute.
However, his efforts were insufficient as Napoli struggled to break down Bologna’s resilient defence.
The defeat leaves Napoli’s Conference League ambitions hanging by a thread, with Fiorentina just one point behind and having two games in hand.
The loss is a significant setback for the defending champions, who had hoped to build on their recent performances.
Osimhen’s decision to hand over penalty duties to Politano, who subsequently missed, raised eyebrows.
The Nigerian striker’s silence in the first half and lack of impact in the second half further compounded Napoli’s woes.
Bologna, on the other hand, will be delighted with their win, which consolidates their position in the Serie A table.
Thiago Motta’s men took advantage of Napoli’s poor start and held on for a well-deserved victory and three points.
