He added the second in the 53rd minute after guiding Giovanni Di Lorenzo’s cross into the net.

Some football fans wondered why Osimhen didn’t take the penalty.

He has now revealed the  reason behind his decision.

“The penalty Zieliniski asked me if he could take it, of course I’m a team player it doesn’t matter who scores as long as the team achieves success. I know my goals will come with or without penalty.”
