Reactions on social media have continued to trail Victor Osimhen’s missed penalty for Napoli in their last league games against Bologna.
Napoli Football Club has incurred the wrath of Nigerians on social media after a TikTok video 'mocking' Victor Osimhen for his missed penalty went viral.
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen won a penalty for I Partenopei, but he could not convert the spot-kick despite sending the goalkeeper the wrong way.
With the match goalless and Rudi Garcia desperate for a win, star man Victor Osimhen was substituted and replaced with Giovanni Simeone, much to the chagrin of the Nigerian.
