Late drama as Isaac Success cancels Osimhen’s goal to rescue point for Udinese
A late strike from Isaac Success salvaged a vital point for Udinese as they held Napoli to a 1-1 draw, despite Victor Osimhen‘s efforts for the visitors.
Napoli, missing several key starters, looked to Osimhen for breakthrough, and the Nigerian striker delivered with a headed goal early in the second half.
However, Udinese refused to back down, and Success, another Nigerian star, found the back of the net in stoppage time to snatch a vital point for the relegation-threatened side.
The match saw both teams creating chances, with Udinese testing Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret on several occasions, with no luck.

The draw leaves the hosts still in the relegation zone but only two points away from safety.
Meanwhile, Napoli will have to deal with the pain of dropping points in their pursuit of a top-four finish in the Serie A.
