Victor Osimhen hit another goal for Napoli on Sunday in their 1-1 draw at Cagliari, his second goal in less than a week since coming back from AFCON.
After a goalless first half, Osimhen scored in the 65th minute to give Napoli the lead.
Osimhen ran onto a clever lofted pass from Giacomo Raspadori and easily beat the keeper with a header into the bottom left corner from close range.
Earlier, a brilliant cross into the box found Osimhen, who directed his header towards the left post, but the goalkeeper showed all his agility and made an astonishing save.
In the 90th minute, Jens Cajuste found Matteo Politano with a pass, but he could not find the target as his effort from inside the box wentjust wide of the left post.
Four minutes into added time, Giovanni Simeone blew a clear opportunity to score a goal. He was one-on-one with Simone Scuffet inside the six-yard box and attempted to put the ball into the right side of the target, but was denied by a great save.
Napoli paid for their miss two minutes later as Zito Luvumbo equalised for Cagliari. Luvumbo was put through by Alberto Dossena and he showed brilliant composure inside the box to fire into the top right corner to make it 1-1.
