NAPOLI 3-0 EINTRACHT FRANKFURT (5-0 ON AGGREGATE): VICTOR OSIMHEN DOUBLE SEES LUCIANO SPALLETTI'S SIDE INTO QUARTERS
Napoli swatted aside Eintracht Frankfurt to book their place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the very first time. Victor Osimhen continued his prolific season to bag a double, and his side's 3-0 win secured a 5-0 aggregate victory. It keeps Luciano Spalletti's in-form team on course for what would be an historic domestic and European double.
Victor Osimhen scored his 22nd and 23rd goals of the season as Napoli reached the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time with a 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
With Napoli leading the tie 2-0 on aggregate from the first leg, Osimhen stretched their overall advantage to three goals with a stunning header on the stroke of half-time.
He doubled Napoli’s lead on the other side of the interval when he tapped home Giovanni Di Lorenzo’s cross from close range after a well-worked move.
Piotr Zielinski won and scored a penalty just after an hour played to put the game to bed.
Early on, the game had started tightly but quickly opened up as it was clear Frankfurt were going to try to take the game to Napoli as they set up high up the pitch.
Mario Gotze had a good opportunity when he was slipped through on goal by Daichi Kamada, but was hesitant when Alex Meret rushed off his line to come and challenge for the ball and squandered a golden chance to pull Frankfurt back into the tie.
