Super Eagles and Napoli Striker, Victor Osimhen, on Wednesday night made a return from injury with a goal against Ajax in one of the UEFA Champions League fixture played in Naples.
After sustaining an injury which ruled him out for a couple of games, the Nigerian international showed off class to clinch a goal in Napoli’s 4-2 win against Dutch topflight league giants.
After a big win against Ajax before their home fans, Napoli in the second leg hoped to do a double over Ajax when they lock horns at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in Naples.
After being condemned to a scandalous loss in the first league, Ajax visited the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium hoping to redeem itself in the second leg of the fixture.
Ex-Everton man Davy Klaasen’s header reduced Ajax’s arrears after the break, before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s penalty, harshly awarded for handball against Jurrien Timber after a Video Assistant Referee review, extended Napoli’s lead back to two goals.
The visitors were then given a late penalty when Juan Jesus was adjudged to have fouled Brian Brobbey, with former Tottenham forward, Steven Bergwijn, converting to cause a nervy finale.
However, those nerves were settled when Victor Osimhen harried Daley Blind into a mistake and tapped into the empty net for his first Champions League goal of the season.
