Victor Osimhen continued his scoring streak with a goal for Napoli in their 1-1 draw against Cagliari, mirroring his recent performance against Barcelona.
Osimhen’s header off Giacomo Raspadori’s delivery seemed to secure Francesco Calzona a debut win in his first league game as Napoli’s coach. However, Zito Luvumbo’s stoppage-time equalizer dashed their hopes.
Despite Osimhen’s efforts, Napoli remains in ninth place, trailing Roma, who occupy the Europa Conference League position, and Bologna, who are in fourth.
Following the match, Calzona expressed disappointment at their inability to capitalize on late opportunities, attributing the team’s struggles to mental attributes rather than physical issues.
While a win would have propelled Cagliari out of the relegation zone, Claudio Ranieri’s side remains second-from-bottom, level on points with Sassuolo, who they’ll face next.
