Beşiktaş rallied from an early three-goal deficit to earn a 3-3 draw against Benfica in the UEFA Champions League.
The Turkish champions looked dead and buried after goals from Pizzi, Salvio, and Cervi gave Benfica a comfortable lead. However, Beşiktaş showed great character to fight back and earn a point.
Cenk Tosun pulled one back for Beşiktaş before the break, and Talisca reduced the deficit further with a penalty in the second half. Aboubakar then completed the comeback with a dramatic equalizer in the 89th minute.
The result leaves Beşiktaş in third place in Group G, two points behind Benfica and Basel. They will need to win their final group game against Napoli and hope that Benfica lose to Dynamo Kyiv if they want to reach the knockout stages.

Conclusion
Beşiktaş's draw against Benfica was a remarkable display of resilience and character. The Turkish champions looked dead and buried after conceding three early goals, but they fought back bravely to earn a point.
