Napoli Shares Goalless Draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in Champions League

Napoli and Eintracht Frankfurt finished with a dull 0-0 result on Tuesday that offered minimal boost to their struggling efforts in the Champions League.

Action near the goals was scarce in Naples, leaving both squads with a meagre four points after four fixtures in the ongoing tournament.

As numerous games continue on Tuesday and Wednesday, Napoli and Eintracht, placed 19th and 18th in turn, will probably find themselves in danger of early knockout by the league phase midpoint.

Scott McTominay squandered the clearest opportunity on a disheartening night for the Italian champions, firing wide from short distance after a forceful advance along the right wing by his colleague Andre-Frank Anguissa.

Yet Napoli can draw some reassurance from their solid form at home, holding top spot in the Italian league, while Eintracht lack any comparable relief.

Eintracht managed only one win in their previous eight outings across every competition and suffered elimination from the German Cup at the hands of Borussia Dortmund just last week.

Still, Dino Toppmoeller's outfit may well feel satisfied with securing a point at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, above all after the severe thrashing inflicted by Liverpool in their prior match.

The German team also achieved a tie without the encouragement of their enthusiastic followers.

Eintracht supporters faced a ban for Tuesday's fixture, much like two years back when a handful of persistent vandals disregarded rules and stirred trouble in Naples.

Events of that nature stayed absent this evening, the mere significant reaction from spectators consisting of lukewarm jeers marking the close of an unremarkable affair.
