Napoli 0-4 Frosinone: Osimhen helpless as Italian champions get disgraced out of Coppa Italia
Frosinone pulled off an incredible shock with a 4-0 drubbing to knock Napoli out of Coppa Italia.
Victor Osimhen did not start the match against Frosinone as Walter Mazzarri decided to rotate his squad and give game time to some fringe players.
Osimhen’s introduction fails to inspire Napoli
Osimhen eventually came on as a substitute in the second half when the game was still tied at 0-0. Georgian Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was also introduced, but both players were helpless as Frosinone ran riots.
Frosinone found the back of the net four times in the last 25 minutes of the game, courtesy of goals from Barrenechea, Giuseppe Caso, Walid Cheddira, and Abdou Harrouito.
Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia were rated 5/10 by the Italian publication, which believed that the introduction of the Nigerian star and his Georgian counterpart did nothing to affect the outcome of the game in Napoli’s favour.
