Goals: Napoli – Eintracht Frankfurt – Played on 03/ 15/ 2023
Napoli beat Eintracht Frankfurt, 3-0, today, Wednesday, at Diego Maradona, in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16.
Victor Osimhen scored two goals (45 + 2 and 53), while Piotr Zielinski scored the third goal from the penalty mark (64).
Napoli completed the contract for the quarter-finalists, after winning (5-0) in the aggregate of the two matches, to become the third Italian team to reach this role after Milan and Inter, while Frankfurt bid farewell to the championship in the round of 16.
Napoli entered the meeting looking to score a quick goal, and after a minute and a half had passed, Politano received the ball after a lot of pressure on the guests, to hit a ground shot that was blocked by goalkeeper Trapp.
Frankfurt took possession of the ball and tried to approach the Naples penalty area, but to no avail, amid the brilliance of the back four of the South team, in front of which the German team’s attack disappeared.
In the 16th minute, Kvaratskhelia passed the ball to Mario Roy in front of the area, so that the latter, in turn, passed it in the depths to Osimhen, who fired a ground shot that was blocked by the goalkeeper twice, before the referee blew his whistle, declaring that there was an offside situation on the Nigerian striker.
And from a mistake in receiving the ball from Jibril Su in the middle of the Frankfurt stadium, Napoli cut the ball to pass to Kafara, who set out and penetrated into the area and hit the ball towards the net, but Trapp brilliantly pushed it into a corner.
