Galatasaray hold off Juventus to make Champions League last 16
Galatasaray fended off a rousing fightback by 10-man Juventus as Victor Osimhen struck in extra time on Wednesday to help earn the Turkish side a 7-5 aggregate victory and a place in the last 16.
Trailing 5-2 from the first leg, Manuel Locatelli's first-half penalty gave Juventus hope but they appeared doomed when defender Lloyd Kelly was sent off on 48 minutes.
Remarkably, the hosts forced extra time with goals from Federico Gatti and Weston McKennie but eventually ran out of steam, as Osimhem and Baris Yilmaz scored late to send Galatasaray through to a meeting with Liverpool or Tottenham.
