It was not the best of weekends for Nigerian players in the English Premier League and the French Ligue 1, but in Italy, the forwards got the job done.
Okereke, Dessers
Dessers picked up an injury early in the first half and was substituted by Cristian Buonaiuto, while Okereke was on the pitch for 85 minutes before the introduction of Daniel Ciofani for the Nigerian.In a game that had five Nigerians in action, Isaac Success, Kingsley Ehizibue and Destiny Udogie all helped Udinese claim a vital point away from home against Cremonese, who paraded Dessers and Okereke.
The Nigerian needed just four minutes to get on the score sheet after finishing off a flick header from the in-form Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The deadly duo combined again in the 19th minute, with Osimhen sweeping home a low cross from the Georgian. Kvaratskhelia then turned from provider to scorer as he finished off a pass from Mario Rui to give Napoli a three-goal lead at half-time.
He was taken off for Sebastien Corchia with just six minutes left as the home side went all out in search of the winning goal. The 27-year-old, who already has four goals and two assists, was unable to add to his goals contributions.Moffi returned to action on Sunday as Lorient suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Nice.
The winger was on target as Adana Demirspor played a 2-2 draw with Kayserispor at the Kadir Has Sehir Stadyumu on Sunday. Onyekuru scored in the 65th minute to give Demirspor the second goal of the game and his fifth of the season.
