Napoli 3-0 Frankfurt (5-0 agg): Osimhen brace sends Napoli through to QFs

Victor Osimhen broke Nigerian record to score a brace as Napoli eased past Frankfurt 5-0 on aggregate to go into Champions League quarter-finals.

With Luciano Spalletti’s side two goals up from the first leg, the Nigeria striker’s thumping header in first-half stoppage time dispelled any lingering nerves at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Osimhen doubled the Italians’ lead on the night with a close-range finish from Giovanni di Lorenzo’s cross eight minutes after the break and, having been brought down in the box, Piotr Zielinski converted the penalty himself to make it 3-0.

With a commanding 18-point lead at the top of Serie A, Napoli head into the last eight with a real chance to compete for top prize in European football.
