Late Isaac Success goal denies Napoli win despite Osimhen milestone

Posted : 07 May 2024

In the Serie A encounter between Udinese and Napoli at the Bluenergy Stadium, Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen found the net, but a dramatic last-minute goal by Isaac Success leveled the score, resulting in a 1-1 draw.


When Napoli faced Udinese, three Super Eagles players featured prominently: goalkeeper Maduka Okoye and forward Isaac Success for Napoli, while Victor Osimhen led Napoli's frontline.


The first half unfolded quietly, with limited scoring opportunities for both sides. Despite Osimhen's efforts, Udinese's goalkeeper Maduka Okoye remained unthreatened.


However, the game ignited in the second half. Osimhen broke the deadlock six minutes after halftime, heading in a precise cross from Matteo Politano to give Napoli a 1-0 lead. This goal marked Osimhen's achievement as the third Napoli player to score against a single Serie A opponent in six consecutive matches, alongside Gonzalo Higuain and Dries Mertens.


Isaac Success, a Super Eagles forward, made an impact after coming on as a substitute. Although he appeared to have been fouled in the 62nd minute, the referee dismissed the claims.


In the 80th minute, Osimhen seemingly doubled Napoli's lead, but the goal was disallowed for offside upon review. Despite another chance in the 84th minute, Okoye denied Osimhen with a confident save.


As stoppage time approached, Napoli seemed poised to secure a victory. However, Success dashed their hopes with a decisive goal in the final moments, ensuring a 1-1 draw and a share of the points for both teams.
