During Napoli’s Serie A match against Sassuolo, there occurred a noteworthy incident when the net was torn from the crossbar. Victor Osimhen and Andrea Consigli, alongside their respective team staff, collaborated to repair it. The score stood at 2-1 in favor of Napoli, with Osimhen having recently scored, overturning Sassuolo’s lead established by Uros Racic and Amir Rrahmani.
The game was momentarily halted when Consigli, in an attempt to prevent Kvicha Kvaratskhelia’s lob from the center-circle, crashed into the net, causing it to detach from its position under the crossbar. Remarkably, members of the Sassuolo staff received assistance from Consigli and Osimhen, both towering figures on the field, in their endeavor to mend the net using tape.
Despite the competitive nature of the match, Consigli and Osimhen were observed sharing light-hearted moments with each other and the referee. DAZN reported that Napoli’s bench teased Osimhen for offering advice on repairing the goal, considering his role primarily involves attempting to score goals rather than fixing nets.
Following the resumption of play, Osimhen promptly demonstrated his prowess by scoring his second goal, sealing his brace and thereby contributing to the repair of the net he had assisted in fixing.
