Club Brugge came from behind to earn a 2-1 victory over Besiktas in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League last-16 tie on Thursday. Gokhan Tore had fired the Turkish side in front 26 seconds into the second half, but Tom De Sutter slid in just after the hour mark to convert his team’s first effort on target. And a 79th-minute Lior Refaelov penalty ensured the hosts head into the second leg with a valuable advantage. De Sutter had earlier seen a goal disallowed during a first half that offered little by way of entertainment. Tore’s strike almost immediately after the restart sparked the game into life and Besiktas looked set to build on their victory as Demba Ba probed the home defence. However, De Sutter restored parity in the 62nd minute before Felipe Gedoz was felled in the box to present Refaelov with the chance to snare victory. The Israel international duly dispatched into the bottom right-hand corner to earn the home side a hard-fought win.
