Galatasaray and Juventus saw a great shootout in Istanbul, which ended with a clear defeat of the Turkish giants with a score of 5:2. Despite Ten Kopmeyners's double, the Italians did not take advantage, and the failure of Juan Cabal after coming on as a substitute cleared up the task for them before the second match in Turin.
The Lords opened the rakhunok in the 15th half, when after a quick play of the ball, Lucas Torreira placed Gabriel Sarou in the striking position, and she effectively spun the ball near the far corner. In the meantime, Juventus was quick: already behind the wheel, Ten Kopmeyners jumped back after Pierre Kalulu’s shot and restored parity. And on the 32nd round, the Dutchman scored a double, breaking through the top nine after a combination with Weston McKennie - 1:2.
After the break the game turned upside down. Noah Lang took the shot, blocked Barish Alper Yilmaz's cross, and then Devinson Sanchez took the free kick and helped Galatasaray take the lead again. The situation for the guests became critical in the 67th quarter, when Cabal took away his friend’s card and deprived Juventus of the minority.
Galatasaray immediately gained numerical superiority. Osimgen grabbed the ball from the penalty area and assisted Lang, scoring a double. Sasha Boi put the match in the match - after Osimgen’s pass, he pushed hard at the far upper corner, establishing a residual score of 5:2.
The match will take place on February 25th in Turin, but now Juventus will have to pull off a miracle, or win three goals and save the chances of continuing the fight in the Champions League.
Galatasaray - Juventus 5:2.
