Osimhen silent in Lille's Reunion

Published on: 22 December 2022

Napoli were made to suffer a 4-1 defeat in font of their own fans in a friendly game against Olympic Lille in what should be reunion match for Victor Osimhen who left the French side for Napoli two years ago.

The presence of the Serie A top scorer won’t scare the visitors as Bafodé Diakité gave  Lille a 1-0 lead in the 18th minute.

Napoli tried to get the equalizer after the break but Timothy Weah delivered a header for Jonathan David, who broke on his first ball to give Lille a 2-0 lead.

While Osimhen left the pitch for Giovanni Simione, Mohammed Bayo  a Guinean international  with a Nigerian name came in, this time for the visitors.

Napoli hope of coming back into the game was truncated as Adam Ounas and Jonathan Bamba scored a goal each before Giacomo Raspadoli put one back for the host, 4-1.
