The game started tightly but quickly opened up as it was clear Frankfurt were going to try to take the game to Napoli as they set up high up the pitch. Mario Gotze had a good opportunity when he was slipped through on goal by Daichi Kamada, but was hesitant when Alex Meret rushed off his line to come and challenge for the ball and squandered a golden chance to pull Frankfurt back into the tie.

Despite Frankfurt’s effort to score their first goal of the tie, visiting goalkeeper Kevin Trapp was kept busy at the other end and made his best save to deny Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from close-range. In the second minute of injury time at the end of the first half, an unmarked Osimhen had the ball in the back of the net when he jumped high to reach Matteo Politano’s cross and guide the delivery back across Trapp’s goal and into the net. Eight minutes into the second half, Osimhen had the ball in the net again.
