Napoli’s struggles persist as Osimhen misses penalty against Bologna

Napoli’s lackluster beginning to the season continued as they played out a goalless draw against Bologna, with Victor Osimhen missing a crucial penalty in the 72nd minute.

This setback added to their struggles, leaving the reigning Serie A champions in seventh place, trailing league leaders Inter Milan by seven points, following a series of two wins, a loss, and two draws.

On the other hand, Bologna currently sits in 11th place with six points.

Despite the disappointment, Napoli manager Rudi Garcia aimed to maintain a positive outlook.

“The negative element is the result, but the performance was good, especially in the first half,” he told newsmen.

“We had some tactics that worked but are not entirely happy because there is no victory.”
