Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen missed a penalty on Sunday as Napoli drew 0-0 to Bologna to continue a three-game winless streak in their
In the 63rd minute, Osimhen once again found himself denied by Skorupski. However, Napoli was awarded a penalty when Kvaratskhelia’s cross unintentionally hit Osimhen, and the ball struck Bologna substitute Riccardo Calafiori. The decision was a handball, leading to Osimhen taking the penalty. Despite Skorupski guessing the wrong direction, the Nigerian striker couldn’t keep his shot on target from the 12-yard spot.
Bologna launched an uncommon offensive move, with Joshua Zirkzee delivering a powerful shot in the 75th minute that forced Alex Meret into making a save. In added time, Bologna made a penalty appeal of their own as Alexis Saelemaekers fired the ball towards Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, but the referee did not award the penalty.
Napoli, coming off a 2-1 victory against Braga in the Champions League last week, will look to return to the win column in Serie A when they face Udinese at home on Wednesday.All rights reserved.
