With the Scudetto acquired, the celebration bears the usual signature: that of Osimhen.

Napoli in celebration at the Maradona Stadium, where the Scudetto won in Thursday’s midweek round in Udine is celebrated by beating Fiorentina. The final result is 1-0, thanks to a goal scored by the usual Victor Osimhen. Nigerian scored on a penalty kick in the 74th minute, after failing an earlier conclusion from 11 meters.

The absence of goals, except to give one more joy to the Maradona Stadium audience, does not take away from the match’s excitement. The first to show himself is Jovic, who after 5 minutes frames the goal with a header that, however, goes over the crossbar. Napoli’s response is entrusted to Elmas, who in turn misses aim. However, it is still the inspired Jovic and Sottil who create the clearest chances of the first half hour. Then the hosts woke up, but Di Lorenzo did not surprise Terracciano and Osimhen only hit the outside of the net.

The resumption opens immediately with the episode of the potential turning point: in the 48th minute comes a penalty for Amrabat’s restraint on Lobotka, but from the eleven meters Osimhen does not deceive Terracciano, who rejects his transformation and Di Lorenzo’s rebound. It gets better in the 74th minute, when Marchetti concedes a second penalty after Nico Gonzalez’s foul on Kvaratskhelia, but this time Osimhen spies the purple goalkeeper and scores the game-winning goal. Gonzalez himself and Kouamé miss the equalizer, and it’s total celebration for Napoli.
