Beşiktaş drew 1-1 against Monaco in the UEFA Champions League Group C on Wednesday evening at Istanbul's Vodafone Park.
Rony Lopes opened the scoring just before halftime with a lovely curling shot after a defensive mistake by Beşiktaş gave Monaco a much-needed 1-0 lead.
Beşiktaş answered in the second half, when Ricardo Quaresma was fouled inside the penalty box, allowing Cenk Tosun to strike the penalty to the far-left post in the 54th minute.
Neither team was able to capitalize on the clear chances late in the match, and had to settle with a 1-1 score.
Beşiktaş will advance from Group G tonight, depending on the other match of the night. If RB Liepzig manage to win against Porto in Portugal, the Black Eagles will be through after four matches played.
Monaco, on the other hand, increased their points total to just 2, making it hard for them to advance.
