Victor Osimhen’s crucial penalty miss in a Napoli match against Bologna has sparked widespread discussion both in Italy and Nigeria.
In a tightly contested game that was level at 0-0, Napoli was given a penalty due to a handball incident. Osimhen stepped up to take the penalty but failed to convert it.
Shortly after this miss, coach Rudi Garcia decided to substitute Osimhen, which didn’t sit well with the Nigerian striker.

Although Osimhen later apologised for his reaction to being substituted. Napoli’s social media team has chosen to draw attention by posting a video of Osimhen requesting the penalty and subsequently missing it, accompanied by a voiceover that pokes fun at the striker’s miss and a caption that adds a touch of self-iron.
