VictorΒ Osimhen marked his return from an injury that sidelined him for one month and five days with a goal that showed his elite pressing attribute as a striker, his first of the campaign as Napoli booked a spot in the next round of Champions League.
The Nigerian international had two strikes disallowed for offsides, three shouts for offside, one significant opportunity missed, and another important opportunity created.
Then, in the 88th minute, Osimhen scores. There isn’t a better approach to make a comeback.
Napoli defeated Ajax 4-2 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona to earn a spot in the round of 16 with their fourth straight victory in Group A.
Hirving Lozano and Gianluca Raspadori both scored outstanding goals to give the home team the lead early on.
Ajax managed to regain control of the game thanks to Davy Klaassen, but Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s penalty ultimately seemed to seal the outcome.
To set up a suspenseful conclusion, the Dutch team earned a spot-kick of their own, which Steven Bergwijn converted.
The drama was then resolved by Victor Osimhen, who produced a stunning fighting spirit, allowing the Italian team to earn all three points.
After making a comeback from injury, the Super Eagles forward entered the game for Napoli in the second half and scored the game-winning goal. The Super Striker is back you must say!!
Victor Osimhen came off the bench to score in the 90th minute as Napoli beat Ajax 4-2.

Eyes on the UCL Trophy? ππ
One of Victor Osimhen’s most outstanding qualities as a center forward is his pressing ability.
A striker who simply won’t give in. An assassin who pursues his target while intent on destroying the marked target, and a center forward who makes big chances out of losing causes.
After scoring his first Champions League goal of the campaign, Victor Osimhen went berserk. He celebrated by ripping off his face mask and tossing it, along with his jersey, into the air.
