"It was a fast start from Atleti, which saw Julian Alvaraz hit the side-netting before Giovanni Simeone headed home from Matteo Ruggeri's cross from the left wing to give the visitors an early lead. However, Galatasaray equalised in the 20th minute after a moment of madness from Marcos Llorente. The right-back turned a low cross from Roland Sallai into his own net, despite being under no pressure from the opposition in the six-yard box."
"Atleti dominated after the break, but struggled to find a way past Ugurcan Cakir. Alvarez saw an attempt from inside the box blocked before Giovanni Simeone's centre across the face of goal was just out of reach of Alexander Sorloth. They produced 1.43 expected goals (xG) from 15 shots to Galatasaray's 0.5 from seven attempts, with only two of those coming in the second half."
