Diaz laid off Safari's pass, Delgado touched it back to Strellar and Salah fired his pass into the right corner. Strellar headed in the winner from Delgado's corner.

NAPOLI 2 (Higuain 29, Insigne 67 fk)
DORTMUND 1 (Zuniga 87 og)

Klopp was sent off for raging at an official after Higuain headed Napoli into the lead - he claimed Higuain pushed Schmelzer to score (he didn't). Weidenfeller joined his coach when he ran out of the box and punched a ball. Insigne scored with an amazing free kick that was hit with such velocity and precision there isn't a goalkeeper in the World that could have saved it. Zuniga sliced a cross into his own net but ten man Dortmund failed to put a nervy Napoli defence under further pressure.

Attendance : 60,000

ZENIT 1 (Hulk 58)

Miranda headed in a corner before Hulk equalised with a customary explosive shot. Turan scrambled his team back in front after Zenit failed to clear a free kick. Turan played in Baptistao with a reverse and a superb first touch took him in between two defenders and he switched the ball onto his right foot before stroking a shot into the right corner. Beautiful goal.
