Champions, Napoli snatches a nice equal in Istanbul

Nice match for Napoli at Besiktas, even if Sarri's men risked defeat and saved themselves in the final with a Eurogoal from Hamsik – Azzurri always first in their group.

Champions, Napoli snatches a nice equal in Istanbul

Napoli saved themselves in Istanbul, drew at Besiktas (after the 2-3 draw at San Paolo) and remained at the top of their Champions League group. The Azzurri, who dominate the match especially in the second half, find themselves in the paradoxical situation of risking defeat, when a hand from Maksimovich in the area gives the hosts the penalty, scored by Quaresma for the 1-0 with less than a quarter of an hour to go. 

Then captain Hamsik takes care of it with a great left foot from outside the area to at least avoid the insult, given that Napoli would have at least deserved a draw after a second half spent entirely in the Turkish half and with several missed chances. Sarri therefore remains in the running for qualification for the round of XNUMX, waiting for the next match which will be at home against Dinamo Kiev.
