Parthenopeans were expected to beat Inter Milan, but they were second best on the night.
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen played the full 90 minutes for Napoli in a 3-0 loss to Inter Milan at the Diego Maradona Stadium, reported Soccernet.ng .
Osimhen returned to Napoli’s starting lineup on Sunday when they hosted giants Inter Milan in a Serie A match. It was his first start in more than two months and he was desperate to get back in goal.
The match was evenly balanced and both teams had chances early on, but Inter Milan took the lead in the 44th minute through Hakan Calhanoglu.
Napoli restarted the second half with increased intensity and in the 57th minute Napoli thought they had earned a penalty as Osimhen was clearly fouled inside the penalty area. However, the referee overruled this, much to the chagrin of Napoli’s players and fans.
Three minutes later, Inter Milan doubled their lead with a goal from Nicolo Barella, confidently finishing off an assist from Lautaro Martinez.
In the 69th minute, Osimhen had a chance to score, but his header just missed the target and could not change the score.
Napoli pushed many of their players forward to get the goal back, but Markus Thuram scored Inter Milan’s third goal in the 85th minute, sealing the victory for the Nerazzurri.
Osimene had a decent game with just 3 attempts on goal and 33 ball contacts. Inter Milan tried to cut off supplies and isolate in advance. Super He kept the Eagles star players at bay and their plan ultimately worked.
