Galatasaray come from behind to win 4-2 away at Lille

Galatasaray visited French side Lille on matchday 3 of the UEFA Champions League. The yellow-reds won the match at Stade Pierre Mauroy 4-2.

Okan Buruk's players opened the scoring. On an attack in which Barış Alper broke through with a body feint, Yunus Akgün sent the loose ball into the net. Lille levelled the score at 1-1 through Soriba Diaoune, then went 2-1 ahead with another goal from Diaoune and finished the first half on top.

The man who brought Galatasaray back into the game was Aleksey Batrakov. Sending the ball into the net from Roland Sallai's cross, Batrakov restored the balance. In the second half, from a set-piece chance, Nabil Bentaleb scored an own goal and Galatasaray went ahead. Victor Osimhen's goal settled the score.

Galatasaray thus took their first win of the 2026/2027 season. The yellow-reds had lost 3-1 to Sporting in the first week of the league phase and 4-1 to Barcelona in the second week. The team has scored 7 goals in three matches while conceding 9.
