Raspadori’s Late Winner rescues Napoli as Osimhen misses a penalty yet again

Date:

In a Serie A showdown between Napoli and Juventus at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, the spotlight was on Victor Osimhen as Napoli secured a dramatic 2-1 victory.

The hosts took the lead in the 42nd minute when Kvaratskhelia struck a thunderous volley past Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny. The first half ended with Napoli in the lead, but the momentum shifted in the second half.

Juventus intensified their efforts, and Chiesa found the net in the 82nd minute, seemingly rescuing a point for the visitors. However, the defining moment came when Osimhen won a penalty, only to see Szczesny deny his spot-kick but was saved as Raspadori pounced on the rebound, securing Napoli’s victory in the 88th minute.

While Napoli’s interim boss, Francesco Calzona, extended his unbeaten run in charge, Osimhen’s penalty miss became a focal point of discussion. The Nigerian striker, known for his goal-scoring prowess, faced a setback but will look to bounce back in the upcoming fixtures.

Napoli’s consecutive wins propelled them to seventh place, while Juventus remains in second, trailing Serie A leaders Inter Milan.
