The Super Eagle’s forward, Victor Osimhen, marked his return from injury with a goal as he joined the Partenopei Cruise past Ajax in their Champions League reverse fixture.
OsunDaily News recalled that the 23-year-old had been out of the Napoli team after picking up a knock in their game against Liverpool in September.
At the 50-minute mark, the Super Eagles’ striker came off the bench to replace Giacomo Raspadori on the field.
The former Lille forward scored Napoli’s fourth goal of the match in the 89th minute as the score stood at 3-2 against Ajax.
Any hopes of a comeback were dashed when the Nigerian stole the ball from an Ajax player and put it into an empty net.
For Luciano Spalletti’s team, it was the striker’s first-ever Champions League goal. In six appearances for Napoli this season across all competitions, he has now scored three goals.
Napoli leads the group with 12 points, while Ajax, which has now dropped three straight games, is in third place with 3 points ahead of Rangers who has none.
