Having wasted a chance to advance in record time a month ago, Napoli's Champions League fortunes are now going down to the final round of group matches. The Serie A runner-up was held to a 0-0 draw at home by Dynamo Kiev on Wednesday for a result that helped neither side. Dynamo was eliminated while Napoli was left tied with Benfica on eight points atop Group B. Besiktas is next with seven points after rallying from an early three-goal deficit to draw 3-3 with Benfica in the other group match earlier.
