The team from Naples needed a point in the game to be announced champions for the third time in their history and Nigeria's Victor Osimhen came through when he was called upon.

The Super Eagles striker leveled score for Napoli in the 52nd minute after Sandi Lovric had put the host in front through a powerful strike.

His 22nd league goal of the campaign was what sealed the point as Kvaratskhelia's low shot from distance was palmed into the path of the forward.
