Khvicha Kvaratskhelia had a penalty saved

Victor Osimhen scored his 20th goal of the season as the Italian league leaders Napoli beat 10-man Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday.

After Georgian star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia had a penalty saved, Osimhen struck in the first half when he turned in Hirving Lozano’s superb pass.

Lively Giovanni di Lorenzo then added a second, placing into the far corner.

The win gives Napoli a big advantage for the return leg in Italy on Wednesday, 15 March.

Luciano Spalletti’s side have been in superb form this season and sit 15 points clear at the top of Serie A.

They went into this game on the back of five successive wins and looked confident from the outset, with their pace on the attack often causing problems.
