Amazing, What Victor Osimhen Did When He Scored His First "Serie A" Goal
Victor Osimhen yet drew attention of global football fans when he scored in Saturday's game and celebrated the goal in this manner.
Osimhen connected with goalkeeper David Ospina's long ball to break his duck in the Italian Serie A, just two minutes before the break.
The Nigeria forward got off the mark to celebrate in style, joining thousands of Nigerians calling for an end to police brutality in the country...
After scoring his first goal in the Italian top-flight league, he ran to the sideline as a Fan handed him a white vest with the inscription "End police brutality in Nigeria".
Over the past week, Nigerians have trooped out in numbers in protest against a unit of the Nigeria Police Force called Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) alleged with extrajudicial killings of civilians, with music stars, actors prominent in the protest... and global football stars, including Manchester United's Marcus Rashford, and Arsenal's Mesut Ozil have shown their solidarity #ENDSARS
Osimhen sealed the host Napoli's 4-1 victory over Atalanta at the Stadio Sao Paolo with a minute strike.
Napoli had a perfect start to the encounter thanks to Mexico star Hirving Lozano's four-minute brace, in the 23rd and 27th minutes, while Matteo Politano made it 3-0 in the 30th minute.
Since the start of the season, Osimhen has now contributed a goal and an assist in three league matches for the Partenopei.
He will be looking to help Napoli build on this latest win when they host AZ Alkmaar for their opening UEFA Europa League match on Thursday, before they travel to Benevento for their next league fixture on October 25.
