Super Eagles and Napoli talisman, Victor Osimhen, registered his name on the scoresheet for the Azzurri, who were forced to a full-time draw at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples.

Despite having a better 66% ball possession over their visitors, who had 34%, Napoli were unable to overcome the relegation-threatened side. In the game, Italian forward Matteo Politano grabbed Napoli’s early lead just 16 minutes after the game commenced, which eventually stood for the entire first 45 minutes.

Just 10 minutes into the second half, Moroccan striker Walid Cheddira scored an equalizer for Frosinone. Victor Osimhen responded 13 minutes after Walid’s equalizer, restoring Napoli’s lead to 2-1. Unfortunately, for Napoli, who have been struggling this season, Walid Cheddira pulled off another brilliant strike beyond Napoli’s goalkeeper to earn a 2-2 draw for his side.

Since returning from AFCON, Osimhen has been battling with injuries but fortunately remains Napoli’s top scorer with 15 goals in all tournaments this season, despite missing a few matches, including those during AFCON.

As things stand, Napoli don’t have the resilience to defend the title. With 49 points after 32 games, they are 33 points adrift of league leaders Inter.
