FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Victor Osimhen has scored again to help Napoli to a 2-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie. Osimhen scored his 10th goal in his last eight appearances across all competitions. The Nigeria forward opened the scoring in the 40th minute after teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia had a penalty saved by Frankfurt captain Kevin Trapp. Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo scored the second goal in the 65th by finishing a wonderful team move with a sweeping, curled shot inside the far post. Frankfurt’s hopes of mounting a comeback were dealt a major blow minutes before when star forward Randal Kolo Muani was sent off. The French forward will be suspended for the second leg in Naples.
