Despite gaining most possessions, Beşiktaş created almost no serious chances in the first half. The experienced Argentinian midfielder Cambiasso took advantage of the Black Eagles’ ineffectiveness with well-placed header on 36 minutes and gave the Greek hosts a 1-0 lead for the opening half. Beşiktaş showed their true attacking strength with the start of the second-half as they levelled the matters after 53 minutes when Vincent Aboubakar intercepted a short clearance by the Olympiacos’ goal-keeper and buried it into the bottom corner of the net from just outside the box. From that moment on, the Eagles played more confidently and searched for the winner with numerous chances but couldn’t find the target, leaving their hopes to Istanbul, Vodafone Arena.
