Let nobody fool you. Victor Osimhen missed SIX Serie A games this term, Kvaratskhelia had a goal or assists in 3 of them.
Kvaratskhelia missed FOUR Serie A games and Osimhen had at least a goal of assist in ALL of them with Napoli winning ALL.

Gutted for Deborah Kante Abiodun. The red card may rule her out of the tournament if we don't progress from the group stage. I'm however happy she used the 90 minutes to justify her inclusion in the Super Falcons team and also show how big she will be for the future.

In case you wondered why Enyimba's head coach Finidi George and his assistant Yemi Olanrewaju were not on the bench in yesterday's 3-4 loss at Al Ahly Benghazi.
