Vincent Aboubakar scored an 89th-minute equalizer as Besiktas rallied from an early three-goal deficit to draw Benfica 3-3 on Wednesday and remain with chances of advancing to the knockout round of the Champions League. Aboubakar scored from close range after a remarkable crossed-foot cross by veteran winger Ricardo Quaresma. The draw left Benfica and Besiktas with eight points each, one more than Napoli, which hosts already eliminated Dynamo Kiev later Wednesday in Group B.
