Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, scored a powerful header against Maduka Okoye during Napoli's draw with Udinese in the Italian Serie A on Monday evening.

Osimhen scored Napoli's only goal of the game, but they couldn't clinch all three points as Isaac Success' late goal earned the White and Blacks a deserved 1-1 draw at the Bluenergy Stadium.

The first 45 minutes ended in a goalless draw, with Napoli being the better side in terms of possession.

Napoli resumed the second half with the same momentum they ended the first, and their constant pressure on Udinese yielded a good result in the 51st minute.

In a viral video on social media, Osimhen met with Matteo Politano's cross with a bullet header past fellow Nigerian international Okoye to give the Parthenopeans the lead.

The Super Eagles star thought he had a brace in the 80th minute, but the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) ruled his goal out for offside.

With Napoli failing to score a goal to seal all three points, Success grabbed a late equaliser in added time to earn relegation-threatened Udinese a deserved point.

According to a report by Soccerway, Napoli's next game in the Serie A will be against Bologna at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Saturday, May 11.
