One point good but, now Besiktas has to win their next matches .

**************

A brilliant late goal from Napoli captain Marek Hamsik secured a 1-1 draw at Besiktas to keep the Italians a point ahead of their opponents in Champions League Group B.

Besiktas went ahead with just 11 minutes left through a penalty from Ricardo Quaresma.

However, Hamsik hauled the visitors level on 82 minutes when he cracked a 20-yard effort into the top corner.

Napoli head coach Maurizio Sarri was out to make amends for the 3-2 home defeat by Besiktas two weeks ago, which had prompted skipper Hamsik to issue an apology.

Sarri made three changes, bringing in Manolo Gabbiadini, Nikola Maksimovic and Jorginho as the visitors looked to put a reshuffled Black Eagles defence under pressure.

Besiktas were looking to recover from a poor run that had seen them suffer four defeats in their last six matches in all competitions.

the Italians as Faouzi Ghoulam and Lorenzo Insigne combined to put Gabbiadini through, but he shot straight at Besiktas goalkeeper Agosto Fabri.

Besiktas then saw an effort from Vincent Aboubakar ruled out for a foul in the buildup.

Gabbiadini was in behind the home defence again on 11 minutes, with Fabri this time saving with his legs.

Cameroon front man Aboubakar remained a threat for Besiktas as he sent a cross from Tolgay Arslan wide.

Home coach Senol Gunes had to make a change midway through the first half when defender Dusko Tosic hobbled off and was replaced by winger Cenk Tosun.

Atiba Hutchinson came close for the home side when he latched on to a clearance from Kalidou Koulibaly and sent a curling shot against the outside of a post.

Napoli started the second half brightly and on 56 minutes Jose Maria Callejon fired just wide after collecting a through ball from Insigne.

On 79 minutes Besiktas took the lead from the penalty spot after English referee Mark Clattenburg ruled Maksimovic had handled a cross from Aboubakar.

Quaresma converted, with Napoli keeper Pepe Reina only able to push the ball inside the right-hand post.

The home supporters' joy was short-lived, however, as Slovakian playmaker Hamsik netted a superb equaliser.

Dries Mertens set him up with a cushioned header outside the penalty area and he dispatched a wonderful curling effort into the top corner.

Mertens and Insigne both tried their luck from distance during the closing stages, but Besiktas held on for a deserved share of the points, leaving both teams with all to play for in the last two matches of the group stage. 

***********

With a win Besiktas could capture the first pace in group B !

Besiktas's victory in Napoli, has put the Black Eagles within a point of the Group B leaders. 

On Tuesday, Besiktas could capture the first place in the group with a win in Istanbul ! 

In the first competitive meeting between the teams, Besiktas twice let the lead slip before Vincent Aboubakar struck a late winner, his second goal of the game, to secure a 3-2 victory. Adriano Correia Claro had opened the scoring in the 12th minute for Besiktas but Napoli's Dries Mertens scored in the 30th minute to equalize. 

A Manolo Gabbiadini penalty in the 69th minute, with Lorenzo Insigne having earlier missed from the spot, kept Napoli in the hunt before Aboubakar gave the Turkish Super League champions their first victory over Italian rivals in 12 tries.

A 1-1 draw at S.L. Benfica on matchday one came courtesy of a player from the Lisbon club, Anderson Talisca, loaned to Besiktas in August, as he struck a last-gasp equalizer.,

 They were then involved in another 1-1 draw when Dynamo Kyiv pulled level in the 65th minute to cancel out Ricardo Quaresma's free-kick goal in the first half. 

Back in the UEFA Champions League for the first time since 2009/10, the Turkish Super League champions are hoping to negotiate the group stage hurdle for the first time in six  attempts. In that 2009 campaign they lost all three home fixtures and finished at the bottom of the section. 

They have won one of their last five home games in UEFA competition, and are on a four-game winless home run in the UEFA Champions League proper. Before winning in Naples, Besiktas had drawn two and lost nine of their past 11 meetings with opponents from Serie A.

As for the match facts:

Beşiktaş's star Gökhan İnler played for and captained Napoli between 2011 and 2015, helping the Partenopei to win the Coppa Italia twice and the Italian Super Cup once. İnler played for Udinese Calcio for four seasons before that and on April 17, 2011 scored the opening goal in their 2-1 win over Napoli in Serie A. Ricardo Quaresma scored the second goal in F.C. Porto's 2-2 away draw with Beşiktaş in the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League Round of 16 to earn a 3-2 aggregate win. Quaresma was at F.C. Internazionale Milano from 2008 to 2010, making 24 Serie A appearances. Caner Erkin is on loan from Inter after joining the Nerazzurri this summer from Fenerbahçe. Beşiktaş coach Şenol Güneş was in charge of Turkey for the 1-1 friendly draw with Italy in Pescara on 20 November 2002. Quaresma scored an extra-time winner as Portugal defeated Ivan Strinic's Croatia in the UEFA EURO 2016 Round of 16 in Lens.

Adriano and Caner are each one booking away from a match ban. Beşiktaş are unbeaten in 13 games in regulation time in 2016/17 (W7 D6), though they did lose the Turkish Super Cup 3-0 in penalties to Galatasaray in August. Beşiktaş have won four of their last five matches in all competitions, keeping three clean sheets. The Black Eagles have won 13 of their past 14 home league fixtures. Oğuzhan Özyakup has not played since sustaining an ankle injury against Galatasaray in late September, although he is back in full training. Caner will be out for six months after tearing his left Achilles tendon in a 3-0 defeat of Antalyaspor on October 23. Talisca underwent surgery on Saturday after breaking a metatarsal bone in Friday's game against Gençlerbirliği, having earlier scored in a 1-1 draw. Necip Uysal went off after 14 minutes with a hamstring injury. İnler missed the Antalyaspor match due to an undisclosed injury and was not part of the squad which travelled to Gençlerbirliği.

Napoli ended a run of three consecutive defeats in all competitions by winning 2-1 at Crotone on October 23, despite Gabbiadini being sent off after only half an hour.

Europa League : Manchester United beat Fenerbahce 4-1 !

Manchester   United beat Fenerbahce 4-1 in a UEFA Europa League Group A match late Thursday.

The hosts took the lead in the 31st minute when French star Paul Pogba converted a penalty kick.

Manchester United doubled the score three minutes later after another Frenchman, forward Anthony Martial, was successful on another penalty.

A strike by Pogba from 25 meters out in injury time that beat goalkeeper Volkan Demirel put Manchester up by three goals heading to the dressing room at Old Trafford.

Red Devils' English midfielder Jesse Lingard added a fourth goal for good measure as he smashed a shot from outside the penalty box in the second half. 

His two goals helped Pogba to be named player of the match by UEFA.

Meanwhile, other Turkish teams in the Europa League each drew against their opponents.

Atiker Konyaspor played to a 1-1 draw against Portugal's Braga in a Group H match in Konya while Osmanlispor and Spanish team Villarreal ended 2-2 in Group L play in Ankara.

Besiktas beat Napoli in Italy ..First CL win in 7 years !

Senol Gunes feels Besiktas deserved their 3-2 win over Napoli following their courageous display, but says they must remain humble.

Besiktas coach Senol Gunes was quick to stress they cannot afford to get carried away after beating Napoli 3-2 in Wednesday's Champions League encounter.

The Istanbul side now sit second in Group B - trailing Napoli by a point - following Vincent Aboubakar's late winner at Stadio San Paolo, but Gunes made it clear they have achieved nothing yet.

"If we had lost the game, we would have been very upset because our players really fought well," Gunes told reporters.

"However, winning does not mean that we are comfortable in the group now.

"It was an enjoyable game but we could have taken more goalscoring chances.

"We were up against a good team who are leaders of our group. They had some dangerous attacks, we struggled to neutralise their quick players in the first half."

Aboubakar scored the decisive goal four minutes from time to help Besiktas to maximum points having previously put the visitors 2-1 to the good after Napoli's Lorenzo Insigne missed a penalty.

"We did an excellent job. Thanks to all our efforts we were able to get the three points," Aboubakar said.

"I am not the only player who needs to be congratulated - the team deserves the praise. My goals tonight were very important, not just for the team but also from a self-confidence point of view.

"The win has taken us to a key position in the group."
