Benitez laments Dnipro equalizer while Hamsik fumes

After conceding a late equalizer in their UEFA Europa League semifinal with Dnipro, Napoli coach Rafael Benitez was not pleased.

Rafael Benitez says Dnipro's late equalizer changes the complexion of Napoli's UEFA Europa League semifinal tie.

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

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 semifinal.

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