Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes said his side was in control against Napoli until a Holger Badstuber own goal saw it veer off the winning path in a 1-1 Champions League draw on Tuesday night.
The German side hit the ground running in Italy and was 1-0 up after just two minutes courtesy of a Toni Kroos strike.
However, Bayern was put on the back foot after Badstuber turned a Christian Maggio cross into his own net.
Another mistake from Mario Gomez further unsettled Heynckes' men as the striker saw his second-half penalty saved by Morgan De Sanctis, the Napoli goalkeeper.
"It was a good performance from us and we were in control, so a win wouldn't have been undeserved," Heynckes is quoted as saying by UEFA.com.
"Napoli is a dangerous team and you always have to be vigilant against them but we didn't allow them a single chance until the equalizer.
"Then there was a spell of six to eight minutes where we didn't look good, but in the second half we were on top again."
Bayern is top of Group A, two points ahead of the Italian side.
Heynckes men are in action again when they play Hannover in the Bundesliga this weekend.
