Champions League roundup: Galatasaray hammer Juventus to seize control
Juventus lead twice but go down 5-2 in playoff 1st leg
Juan Cabal sent off at 3-2; Noa Lang and Gabriel Sara star
Galatasaray delivered a dominant performance to dismantle 10-man Juventus 5-2 in the first leg of their Champions League playoff, with Noa Lang and Gabriel Sara starring in a scintillating display.
The hosts took the lead in the 15th minute when the Brazilian Sara struck a thunderous long-range shot that left Michele Di Gregorio with no chance. However, Juventus equalised almost instantly when Teun Koopmeiners reacted quickly after Pierre Kalulu’s header was saved by Ugurcan Cakir, converting the rebound in the 16th minute.
