The home fans were not happy seeing the Nigerian striker on their pitch and chants were made to slow his game down in the duel.
Osimhen did not allow the chants to weigh him down in the tie as he even made a celebration to troll Verona fans.
Last season, Verona were ordered to close a section of their stadium for one match after racist chants from a section of their supporters.
