Napoli beat Benfica in Champions League, both go through
LISBON (Reuters) - Jose Callejon and Dries Mertens gave Napoli a 2-1 win at Benfica in the Champions League on Tuesday, although both teams went into the last 16 after rivals Besiktas suffered a thumping defeat against Dynamo Kiev.
Callejon broke clear and dinked the ball over Ederson in the 60th minute and substitute Mertens sealed a convincing win for the Serie A side in the Group B match with a superb individual effort.
Raul Jimenez pulled back a late goal for a disappointing Benfica who were rescued by previously winless Dynamo Kiev as the Ukrainians thrashed Besiktas 6-0 in the other group game.
Napoli topped the group with 11 points followed by Benfica on eight and Besiktas one behind on seven. Dynamo, already eliminated, finished with five points.
