"Juventus suffered a horror show of a second half in Istanbul as Galatasaray came from 2-1 down to take firm control of their playoff tie. Juve looked well set when a brace from Teun Koopmeiners put them ahead at the break. But defender Juan Cabal came on at the break and lasted just 22 minutes before being sent off for two bookings as they fell apart under pressure."
"The hosts took the lead when former Norwich midfielder Gabriel Sara bent home brilliantly from the edge of the area after Victor Osimhen had nipped in to win the ball back. Juve levelled just a minute later when a steaming header from Pierre Kalulu wasn't held onto by Ugurcan Cakir, and Koopmeiners was in the right place to smash in. The Dutch international then put Juve ahead with a brilliant strike."

Juan Cabal was sent off 22 minutes into the second half after two bookings, leaving his side reduced to ten men. Noa Lang scored twice on his Champions League debut, Davinson Sanchez touched in a free-kick, and defensive errors led to Galatasaray's fourth and fifth goals.
