Benitez: Late goal changes tie

Rafael Benitez says Dnipro's late equaliser changes the complexion of Napoli's UEFA Europa League semi-final tie.

Substitute Yevhen Seleznyov levelled for the visitors after 81 minutes, with David Lopez having headed Napoli in front shortly after half-time.

The result sends Dnipro into next week's second leg with an away-goal advantage.

"We have all seen what happened," said Benitez. "This changes the result and the semi-final.

"We created so much and they only had two shots, but now we must think about the next match." 

"We dominated and we are angry because their first opportunity to score was offside," he fumed.
