Galatasaray wins with a big score

Juventus are in danger of being eliminated from the Champions League. The Bianconeri were defeated 5-2 away to Galatasaray in the play-off stage.

The Turks started the game well, taking the lead after 15 minutes through Gabriel Sara. However, just a minute later, Koopmeiners equalized.

The Dutchman was also the protagonist in the 32nd minute, when he overturned the score in favor of the guests in the 32nd minute, a result with which the first half ended.

The second half was a different story. Lang equalized in the 49th minute, while Sanchez gave Galatasaray the lead in the 60th minute.

Everything became more difficult for the Italians in the 67th minute, when Juan Cabal was punished with a second yellow card, to leave the team with 10 men.

Lang completed the double in the 75th minute, scoring the fourth for the home team. The match was decided by Boey, who scored in the 86th minute.

The return leg will be played in a week in Turin, where Juventus have a tough task to overturn the result.
