Napoli and Eintracht Frankfurt in Champions League stalemate
Napoli and Eintracht Frankfurt played out an uneventful goalless draw on Tuesday which did little for their stuttering Champions League campaigns.
There was little goalmouth action in Naples where both teams ended their evenings on a paltry four points from four matches in this season's competition.
With a host of matches still to come on Tuesday and Wednesday, Napoli and Eintracht -- sat 19th and 18th respectively -- are likely to be in the elimination places at the halfway point of the league phase.
Scott McTominay missed the best chance of a frustrating night for the Serie A champions when he blasted over from close range following a a powerful burst down the right flank from his midfield partner Andre-Frank Anguissa.
But while Napoli can at least console themselves with a strong domestic performance thanks to their league lead in Italy, Eintracht have no such comfort.
Eintracht have won once in their last eight matches in all competitions and were also knocked out of the German Cup by Borussia Dortmund last week.
However, Dino Toppmoeller's team will probably be happier with a point from the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, especially given the hammering dished out to them by Liverpool last time out.
The Germans also earned a draw without the backing of their vociferous support.
Eintracht fans were banned from Tuesday's match, just as they were two years ago when a small but committed group of hooligans defied authorities and caused chaos in Naples.
No such incidents took place this time out, with the only crowd action of note being the tepid whistles which greeted the end of a forgettable encounter.
