Farewell to CL by loosing against Porto

Black eagles had gone for victory to Porto but they lost 2-0 and could not claw themselves off the bottom of Group A.

Opening of the game was tame,Besiktas created some promising attacks, but could not convert them to significant positions. Porto started to set pressure at last minutes of the 1th half and Gonzalez got the ball rolling with a simple finish after some poor protesting for an offside decision by goalkeeper Rustu Recber left the Besiktas goal wide open at 44th minute.

Besiktas took response and went close to equalizer with Serdar Ozkan and Edouard Cisse at just after the break. Porto doubled the lead with Quaresma at 62nd minute and game ended with 2-0 score. Home side booked their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League as the winners of Group A with that result while Besiktas finished the group at the bottom.
