Napoli staged a superb comeback to earn a 3-3 draw with ten-man Steaua Bucharest in Romania with Edinson Cavani scoring the equaliser deep into injury-time.
Steaua looked to be heading for all three points in Group K after racing into a 3-0 lead, but the game turned on Pantelis Kapetanos' sending off.
The home side were gifted the lead after just two minutes when Sanchez Emilson Cribari scored an unfortunate own goal.
Cristian Tanase doubled Steaua's lead on 11 minutes and things got even better for the hosts when Kapetanos added a third six minutes later.
However, Kapetanos turned from hero to villain just past the half hour mark when he was sent off for violent conduct.
Napoli made their numerical advantage count and pulled a goal back a minute before the break through Luigi Vitale.
Slovakian ace Marek Hamsik reduced the arrears further on 73 minutes and the Italians completed their comeback eight minutes into stoppage time when Cavani popped up with a last-gasp leveller.
The draw leaves Napoli with two points from their opening two games in Group K, while Steaua have picked up their first point.
