Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen scored a brace to get Napoli’s Scudetto title defence to a winning start beating Frosinone 3-1 win Stadio Benito Stirpe on Saturday.
Osimhen’s 26 goals were instrumental in Napoli claiming the Serie A title for the first in over 3 decades last season and he has picked up from where he left off this term in new manager Rudi Garcia’s first league game.
On the opening day of a new Serie A season, the Super Eagles striker wasted no time in opening his account, first slamming home a shot in after 42 minutes to put the Pertnopei 2-1 ahead after Giaviani Di Lorenzo had gotten the team back from an early spot-kick goal by Frosinone’ sAbdou Harroui
The Nigerian was on hand to complete the win, after being sent through on goal by a Di Lorenzo’s pass, he placed low a precise shot past Stefano Turati in Frosinone’s goal to make it 3-1.
