Nigerian International Victor Osimhen registered two assists as Galatasaray came from behind to beat Juventus 5-2, in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League knockout phase play-off clash.
Juventus completed a 17-minute first-half turnaround through a double from Teun Koopmeiners, after going behind to Gabriel Sara’s opener for Galatasaray in the 15 minute.
Galatasaray trailed 2-1 at half-time but produced a superb fightback to lead 3-2 by the hour mark through goals from Noa Lang and Davinson Sanchez.
The second half went from bad to worse for the Italians as Juventus substitute Juan Cabal received a second yellow, leaving Juventus a goal and a man down.
Galatasaray made their advantage count as Lang punished poor Juventus defending for his second on the night off an Osimhen assist.
In the 86th minute, Osimhen then set up Sacha Boey to score the fifth, putting Okan Buruk’s side in firm control of the tie.
The Turkish champions will take a three-goal lead to Turin after coming from behind to beat Juventus 5-2. The return leg takes place next Wednesday.
