Napoli v Frankfurt
Napoli frustrated at home by Eintracht Frankfurt
Napoli drew another blank at the Maradona Stadium as they were held 0-0 by Eintracht Frankfurt on matchday four in the Champions League.
Scott McTominay was wayward with several chances for Napoli, who drew 0-0 in Serie A at home against Como three days ago, while a point apiece did little in either side's bid to start climbing the table.
Serie A leaders Napoli lost their opening Champions League game at Manchester City and after beating Sporting were thrashed 6-2 at PSV Eindhoven in their previous tie.
Frankfurt, eighth in the Bundesliga, beat Galatasaray 5-1 in their Champions League opener before losing their next two ties by the same score to Atletico Madrid and Liverpool.
Napoli had almost 70% possession in the first half, but had nothing to show for it, creating only two half-chances through McTominay's header and Eljif Elmas.
Frankfurt winger Jean-Matteo Bahoya's early long-range shot, saved by Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, was the German side's only effort on target before the break.
Napoli continued to boss possession in the second period, but Frankfurt looked more threatening on the break and Mario Götze headed straight at Milinkovic-Savic before McTominay's shot was blocked.
Giovanni Di Lorenzo fizzed a shot from a tight angle just wide as Napoli stepped it up with 20 minutes left, but Frankfurt continued to look dangerous on the counter-attack and Milinkovic-Savic denied substitute Ansgar Knauff.
Frank Anguissa fired off target from inside the area for Napoli and McTominay missed a golden late chance to snatch it for Antonio Conte's side when firing wide from Anguissa's cut-back.
