Ten-man Juventus took this Playoff tie into extra time after they fired three unreplied goals in regulation time to be at par 5-5 on aggregate.

Osimhen, who did not enjoy great service in tonight’s game, finally delivered the most important goal on the night in stoppage time, when he fired past the Juventus goalkeeper from inside the box to pull a goal back for the Turkish champions.

He has now scored seven goals in eight appearances in the Champions League.

Yilmaz scored a second goal for Galatasaray in Turin soon after for the Turkish giants to go through 7-5 on aggregate.

They will now face either Liverpool or Tottenham when the draw is conducted Friday.
