Red-hot Osimhen scored a brace of headers as Napoli secured passage into the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League with a 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
The buildup to the game was quite fiesty with reports of Frankfurt fans being violent in Naples but it was Victor Osimhen who really set the whole stadium on fire with his header in the second extra minute of the first half to reach an half century of Napoli goals in his 90th appearance.
The Nigerian forward then magically rose the highest to double Napoli’s lead in the 52nd minute.
In so doing, the 24-year-old became the first Nigerian to score a brace in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
Zielinski then scored Napoli’s third from the penalty spot to take them straight into the last eight with ease after a 2-0 first leg win.
The victory also ensured the Serie A has three representatives with Napoli joining both Milan clubs and all three picking clean sheets across both legs.
