Video: Why Osimhen reacted angrily to Mina dark arts

Cagliari defender Yerry Mina has already shown he has a rather old-school technique of defending and confirmed his unsportsmanlike behaviour on Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

The veteran Colombia international has made quite the impact since his January move to Cagliari from Fiorentina, but not always in a good way.

He had hit the headlines during a tussle with Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee when visibly pinching the Dutchman’s nipple in an off the ball incident – a classic example of the so-called ‘dark arts’ of defending.

"Yerry Mina there…squeezing the chest of Zirkzee!" 🎙️ You don't see that too often, but the Fiorentina defender escaped unpunished 😳 pic.twitter.com/cbhN67MC12 — Viaplay Sports UK (@ViaplaySportsUK) January 9, 2024

Mina did it again, this time to Napoli and Nigeria forward Osimhen, just a couple of minutes into this afternoon’s Serie A match.
