World news – USA – Osimen’s header gives Napoli a 1-0 win over Bologna

Napoli, after a 2-1 toast in Rijeka in the Europa League on Thursday when coach Gennaro Gattuso said they played as if they were on a trip, quickly took control and went ahead after 23 minutes

Herving Lozano got the ball from the right side and the Mexican curled over an attractive cross with Osimin unmarked in the far post, which is his second goal since joining from Lille in the summer transfer window.

Napoli thought they scored a second goal when defender Calido Coulibaly had the ball in the net after a scramble in the net after the first half, but was rejected after reviewing the video assistant referee because the ball hit Osimen’s hand in construction

Bologna finally managed with his first shot on target after 73 minutes when Ospina blocked Moses Barrow’s long-range shot

Napoli had a dramatic escape shortly thereafter when Ospina managed to save Ricardo Ursolini’s shot, then Rodrigo Palacio’s effort was countered by the rebound on the line by Mr. Hisage

Minutes later, Barro sent Palacio away down the left and Ospina stopped the veteran’s shot again

Napoli’s fifth win in seven Serie A matches made it third with 14 points. One point was deducted after they failed to play their match away to Juventus amid confusion over the COVID-19 rules. Paulownia Six Points (Written by Brian Homewood, Editing by Pritha Sarkar)
