Victor Osimhen endures longest goal drought as Napoli slip at Bologna

By Saheed Afolabi

Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen extended his goal drought as Napoli played a 0-0 draw against Bologna on Sunday.

Osimhen had failed to hit the back of the net in three Serie A meetings and his last goal in the league came up against Sassuolo apart of the three goals scored in his first two outings for the Partenopei this season.

The Super Eagles forward had a great chance to gift Napoli the lead in the fifth minute but saw his effort inches off the goal line.

The Bologna defense stood tall to deny Napoli an easy way through the game. The Partenopei were rewarded with a penalty in the second half but Osimhen blew the effort away as they chase frantically for the goal.

Osimhen was subbed off in the 86th minute for Lobotka.

The Partenopei are fifth with eight points from five matches and they will welcome Udinese on Wednesday September 27 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
