Watch Osimhen’s Assist Labeled the Best of the Century
The Nigerian scored and assisted Kvaratskhelia goal
Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, recently crowned Africa’s best player, showcased his exceptional talent with an incredible assist to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in Napoli’s 2-1 victory over Cagliari at the Maradona Stadium on Saturday.
The stunning play has since been hailed as the “assist of the century.”
The Nigerian striker, who celebrated his recent accolade with a goal in Napoli’s Champions League triumph against Braga, continued to prove why he holds the title of the continent’s best player.
In the Serie A clash against Cagliari, Osimhen not only scored a brilliant header in the 69th minute but also crafted an assist that demonstrated a blend of Brazil’s ‘jogo bonito’ and Nigeria’s ‘street smartness.’
Facing strong opposition after Leonardo Pavoletti’s 72nd-minute equalizer for Cagliari, Osimhen ensured he lived up to his recent recognition as the first Nigerian player to win the CAF Men’s Player of the Year since Kanu Nwankwo in 1999.
Osimhen’s artistry in creating the scoring opportunity left fans in awe, with many deeming it the best assist of the century.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia capitalized on Osimhen’s brilliance, converting the chance that ultimately secured Napoli’s 2-1 victory.
