Osimhen nets again as Napoli maintain run in pre-season friendly

Victor Osimhen was on target as Napoli defeated Greek club Apollon Limassol 2-0 in a pre-season friendly at the Stadio Patini on Friday night.

Osimhen strained his ankle during a practice match this week, and there were fears he could be set for a spell on the sidelines.

The Nigeria international was, however, named in the starting lineup by manager Rudi Garcia.

The 24-year-old gave the Partenopei the lead with a cool finish on the hour mark.
