Victor Osimhen scored a second a stunning goal midway into the second half. He managed to win himself just enough space inside the box to meet the free kick and powered a perfectly placed header inside the right post, but it was ruled out for offside after VAR’s review.
Osimhen had another sight of goal with Moses Simon the provider on this occasion, but the SSC Napoli man’s header went straight into Antonio Dominique’s grateful grasp.
