Former Benfica player Talisca scored from a free kick in injury time to give Besiktas a 1-1 draw against his previous club in Group B of the Champions League on Tuesday. Talisca, a Brazilian midfielder playing on loan after two seasons with Benfica, fired a well-placed left-foot shot past the wall three minutes into stoppage time. The result left both teams trailing Napoli, which came from behind to defeat 10-man Dynamo Kiev 2-1 in Ukraine.
