Galatasaray beat Lille 4-2 away for their first win

Galatasaray beat Lille 4-2 away in their third UEFA Champions League match. After losing their first two matches to Sporting and Barcelona, the yellow-red side raised their tally to 3 points with their first win in the tournament. Lille remain without a point.

The visitors started quickly and took the lead in the 2nd minute through a goal from Yunus Akgün. Lille levelled in the 7th minute with a goal from Diaoune. Diaoune found the net once more in the 39th minute and put the hosts 2-1 ahead.

A controversial moment came in the 28th minute. When Osimhen went down in the penalty area, referee Rade Obrenovic first pointed to the penalty spot. After a VAR alert, Obrenovic reviewed the incident again, decided it was not a foul and reversed his decision.

Galatasaray equalised in the 44th minute with a header from Batrakov from a cross by Sallai on the right wing. In the second half, in the 52nd minute, Bentaleb sent the ball into his own goal from a shot by Lucas Torreira, and Galatasaray went ahead. In the 61st minute, Victor Osimhen scored the goal that made it a two-goal margin.
