Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen opened the scoring in the 16th minute before Shomurodov leveled the match from the penalty spot in the 66th minute. Lucas Torreira restored the visitors' lead five minutes later, but an own goal by Galatasaray defender Davinson Sanchez in the 76th minute brought the teams level once again. Gabriel Sara scored the winning goal in the closing stages of the match.
