Napoli have finally played their first game at European Winter Tour in Turkey defeating the host Antalyaspor 3-2 as Super Eagles Victor Osimhen came on in the second half to play for the first time after a month out of football.
The Italian side look far better in the first half as Giancomo Raspadoli and Mateo Politano gave Napoli the lead in barely 16 minutes.
Nigerian striker Osimhen was part of the seven substitutes brought on by coach Luciano Spalletti at halftime break, but it was Antalyaspor who got one back before Raspadoli’s second goal restored the two goal margin.
Havana Ozmert gave Napoli a late scare when he scored a beautiful freekick but Antalyaspor left it too late.
Osimhen will now have to wait until Sunday when Napoli Crystal Palace to see if he will get to start or even get a goal for his team before returning to play Villarreal.
