Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen got a brace on Wednesday evening in the UEFA Champions League second-leg round of 16 tie against Germany club side Frankfurt to help Napoli to a 3-0 victory on the night and a 5-0 win on aggregate.
The Nigerian striker, who has been in top form this season, scored a goal in each half to take his tally in the UEFA Champions League this season to four goals. He got the second goal in Germany in the first leg after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s opener.
However, the Nigerian lept the highest to open the scoring on the stroke of half-time; he got his second goal of the game eight minutes after the restart.
A penalty after the hour mark allowed Piotr Zielinski to complete the 3-0 scoreline and a 5-0 aggregate win for the Seria A league leaders.
Elsewhere, Real Madrid made light work of Liverpool at Santiago Bernabeu with a 1-0 scoreline on the night and a 6-2 aggregate scoreline.
After a goalless first half, Karim Benzema scored the game’sgame’s only goal with 11 minutes left to play on the clock, and the Los Blancos moved to the next round of the competition 6-2 ahead of an unimpressive Liverpool side.
The Spaniards could have added the second, but a VAR check for a handball in the 90th minute by the official was not enough to decide that Real Madrid had earned a penalty.
Liverpool will switch their attentions to the Premier League, where they have a fixture against Manchester City at Etihad after the international break.
Real Madrid will play in the El Clasico at the weekend against Barcelona, the second La Liga El Clasico fixture this season.
