Turkish champions, Besiktas came from behind to clinch a place in the Champions League last 16, the first time in 31 years.
They played a 1-1 draw with visiting Porto on Tuesday.
Porto silenced the vociferous home crowd with the opening goal through defender Felipe, but Besiktas midfielder Talisca equalised before half-time to secure a place in the knockout stage..
Ryan Babel went closest earlier on for Besiktas, forcing a save from Jose Sa, who was still preferred to Iker Casillas in the Porto goal.
Babel also hit the crossbar in the second half as the home side pushed harder for the winner.
Besiktas won 3-1 in the reverse fixture in Portugal on Sept. 13.
The point is enough for the Istanbul-based side to top Group G, four points more than Porto with one round of group games remaining.
Contesting Porto for second place in the group is Monaco.
