Marshall Munetsi put on a big performance on Tuesday by providing two assists in Stade de Reims’ 2-1 win over Lille in the Ligue 1. The Zimbabwean returned to the starting XI in the match and created his first goal in the twelfth minute with a header, setting up Mohamed Daramy to open the scoring.
Munetsi then sent a square pass to Keito Nakamura to double the lead four minutes later. The hosts did try to come back into the game but only secured a consolation through Benjamin André towards the final stages of the second half.
The match marked the Warriors international’s sixth Ligue 1 appearance in this campaign. Marshall Munetsi has now been directly involved in four Reims goals, netting one and assisted two.
In other news, Victor Osimhen’s agent Roberto Calenda has threatened to take legal action against Napoli after the club mocked the striker on social media.
The video, which was posted on their TikTok account, centred on Osimhen’s penalty miss in the club’s scoreless draw against Bologna on Sunday.
The clip showed the 24-year-old appealing for a penalty, but using a strange sped-up voice with the caption ‘Gimme penalty please’ before showing him blazing the spot-kick wide of the target.
The Nigerian striker was later substituted as the game drew to a close and appeared to protest the decision, shouting at coach Rudi Garcia before leaving the pitch.
The post has since been deleted from Napoli’s TikTok account.
“We reserve the right to take legal action and any useful initiative to protect Victor,” Calenda wrote on X.
“What happened today on Napoli’s official profile on the TikTok platform is not acceptable.
“A video mocking Victor was first made public and then, but now belatedly, deleted. A serious fact that causes very serious damage to the player and adds to the treatment that the boy is suffering in the last period between media trials and fake news.”
