opera.com 2024/5/20

Victor Osimhen's impressive display against Roma in the Serie A matchday 34 fixture was a testament to his growing influence in the Napoli attack. The Nigerian striker's statistics from the game make for impressive reading, but also highlight an area for improvement - his shot conversion rate, according to All Nigeria Soccer.

Osimhen's dominance against Roma was evident in the fact that he registered eleven shots, one more than the entire Roma team combined. His ability to create chances and test the opposition goalkeeper is undoubtedly a strength, but the conversion rate of these chances is an area that requires attention.

Only four of Osimhen's shots were on target, with only one finding the back of the net, courtesy of a successfully dispatched penalty in the 84th minute. This translates to a shot conversion rate of just 9.09%, a statistic that will need to improve if Napoli are to maximize their attacking potential.

Despite this, Osimhen's overall performance against Roma was impressive. He ranked first for shots (11), shots on target (4), and key passes (4), showcasing his ability to create chances for himself and his teammates. Additionally, his aerial prowess was on full display, winning a game-high three aerial

duels.
