After a goalless first 45 minutes, Osimhen opened his goal account for 2020 with a 58th-minute strike that doubled Lille’s lead, after Luiz Araujo opened the scoring eight minutes earlier.
The strike increased the 21-year-old’s tally to 14 goals in 25 appearances across all competitions for the Great Danes since his arrival in July.
