Osimhen, leading Napoli’s attack, continued his impressive goal-scoring form by netting his 15th league goal of the season in his 23rd appearance.

His goal, coming in the 51st minute, was a testament to his predatory instincts as he capitalized on Matteo Politano’s pinpoint cross to nod in from close range.

On the other side, Isaac Success seized the moment in the dying minutes of the game to level the score for Udinese.

With a well-controlled finish from six yards out, Success found the back of the net for his first Serie A goal in over a year, ensuring Udinese salvaged a point from the match.

Maduka Okoye, guarding Napoli’s goal, made his presence felt in his 18th league appearance, showcasing his reliability between the posts.

Despite Osimhen’s goal initially putting Napoli in the driving seat, Udinese’s late equalizer showcased their resilience, with Kristensen’s knockdown and Success’s composed finish securing a crucial point for the home side.

The draw sees Osimhen continuing his impressive goal-scoring run, with four goals in his last five league fixtures. Success, on the other hand, ended his goal drought with a crucial strike for Udinese.

As the Serie A season progresses, both teams will look to build on this result as they aim to achieve their respective objectives in the league.
