Victor Osimhen and Giovanni Di Lorenzo distinguished themselves as part of the guests
Napoli beat on the road Eintracht in the first match of the 1/8 finals Champions League — 2:0.
The guests had the opportunity to open an account in the middle of the first half, but Khvicha Kvaratskhelia missed the penalty. Four minutes later, Napoli still took the lead – Victor Osimhen scored.
In the second half, Eintracht remained in the minority. Forward Randal Colo-Muani stepped on the opponent’s leg with spikes in the attack, for which he received a direct red card. In the minority, the hosts conceded the second goal – Giovanni Di Lorenzo scored after a heel pass from Kvaratskhelia.
