Osimhen Breaks Ronaldo’s Serie A Record

Osimhen Breaks Ronaldo’s Serie A Record

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen broke Cristiano Ronaldo’s four-year record to become Serie A’s jump-king on Sunday, leaping 2.58 meters during Napoli’s 3-0 win over Spezia.

Osimhen accomplished the incredible feat when he scored Napoli’s second goal of the day against the Little Eagles at the Stadio Alberto Picco.

The Nigeria international has scored some spectacular headers in his career, but his goal against Spezia was truly spectacular and could go down as one of the greatest headed goals in football history.

After a scoreless first half, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia gave Luciano Spalletti’s side the lead from the penalty spot, before Osimhen added the game’s second with a remarkable effort in the 68th minute.

Before heading past Spezia goalkeeper Bartomiej Drgowski, the 24-year-old produced a staggering 71cm leap and reached a height of 8.47ft (2.58m) – higher than the crossbar (8ft).

According to Corriere dello Sport (via Tutto Napoli), Osimhen reached a height of 2.58 meters with that jump, which is typical of elite NBA players.

In doing so, Osimhen broke the previous Italian Serie A record of 2.56 meters set by Ronaldo for Juventus against Sampdoria in 2019.

It is also a new personal career high for Osimhen, who previously set a personal career high of 2.52m against Torino at the Diego Maradona Stadium last season.

However, the world record of 2.62m set by Ugandan defender Bevis Mugabi in the Scottish Championship in January 2021 stands.

Osimhen has now scored 16 Serie A goals this season, the most in a single season of his career.
