Serie A: Osimhen Come Off Bench To Rescue Point For Napoli   Sampson Adedeji   Nigeria forward, Victor Osimhen, made headlines again in the Italia Serie A on Monday evening as he rescued a point for his team against Cagliari, BSNsports.com.ng can report.   The Nigeria striker started the day on the bench and was introduced into the game in the 67th minute for Ounas.   After a scoreless first stanza, Cagliari kicked off the second half and kept up their momentum, leaving Partenopei boxed in their own half.   Their pressure continued and they were rewarded in the 58h minute when Pereiro scored a speculative long shot.   Napoli reacted well, however, and stayed calm as they pushed for an equaliser. After a number of weak attempts, an Osimhen header in the 87th minute off Mario Rui assist brought them back into the match.   The two teams jostled in the remaining minutes of the match, but neither could find a winner, leaving the game to end 1-1.   Osimhen has now scored 11 goals in 16 matches this season. Napoli are now tied with the same points (54) with Inter Milan. Both teams are just two points behind the leagues leaders, AC Milan  who garnered 56 points.
