Napoli forward Victor Osimhen equaled the most goals by a Nigerian player in a single UEFA Champions League season after netting in Napoli’s 1-1 draw with AC Milan on Tuesday night.
Osimhen’s goal was a mere consolation for Napoli, who were knocked out 2-1 on aggregate by the Rooseneri.

Martins scored five goals for the Nerazzurri in the 2004/05 season.
Perhaps Osimhen could have scored more goals in the competition this season if not for injuries that limited his appearance.
