Some of the fans expected Osimhen to score more than the penalty.

Another sarcastically remarked, “Icardi in a wheelchair would carry this team.” Others expressed financial concerns, with one stating, “Very disappointing result for my investment,” while another added, “You made me lose my money; I will never bet on this swain team ever.” Some fans even suggested foul play, with one declaring, “If this isn’t a fixed match I don’t know what it is.”
