In the early minutes of the second half, Besiktas was again very close to score the leading goal, but Turkish midfielder Olcay Sahan's drive went off target.

In the 80th minute Arsenal's Welsh midfielder Aaron Ramsey was sent off by receiving a second yellow card after penalising Besiktas midfielder Oguzhan Ozyakup.

The 89th minute saw the Gunners' English winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's close range shot in the box rattling the post.
