Napoli Coach, Garcia, Hails Man-of-the-Match Osimhen

Although Victor Osimhen did not score in Napoli’s 2-1 victory away at Sporting Braga on Wednesday night, team handler, Rudi Garcia,  has heaped plaudits on the Super Eagles forward for his performance that earned him the Man of the Match award of the UEFA Champions League group game.

The Nigerian International striker set up Napoli skipper Giovanni Di Lorenzo to fire the opening goal of the match.

“Victor Osimhen fought hard and ran,” began Garcia.

“It’s what I expect from all my players, that when it comes time to defend, they all help out.”

Last season, Napoli reached the quarterfinal of the Champions League for the first time in their history with Osimhen netting five goals and only lost to Serie A counterparts Inter Milan.
