Juventus 3-2 Galatasaray — Osimhen and Barış force extra time as Cimbom advance to last 16
Juventus defeated galatasaray 3-2 after extra time at the Allianz, but the Turkish side progressed to the UEFA Champions League last 16 on aggregate after a 5-2 first-leg win. The match featured a late Osimhen goal, a 119th-minute strike from Barış Alper Yılmaz and a straight red card for Lloyd Kelly.
Match setting at the Allianz Stadı and the referee
The second leg took place at the Allianz Stadı with the match officiated by Joao Pinheiro from the Portuguese Football Federation. The referee's decisions — including added time and a review of Lloyd Kelly's challenge — shaped the flow of the encounter.
Juventus goals, penalty and Lloyd Kelly's dismissal
Juventus opened the scoring through Manuel Locatelli from the penalty spot in the 37th minute after a foul by Torreira on Thuram. Federico Gatti extended the lead in the 70th minute and Weston McKennie made it 3-0 in the 82nd minute. Lloyd Kelly was sent off after a 48th/49th-minute intervention on Barış Alper Yılmaz; the sequence involved an initial sending-off for a second yellow and a VAR review after which referee Joao Pinheiro showed Kelly a direct red card.
Key regular-time chances and saves involving Perin and Uğurcan Çakır
Early chances included a 2nd-minute corner from Barış Alper Yılmaz that led to a header by Sanchez which goalkeeper Perin saved, and a 3rd-minute Kenan Yıldız cross that Federico Gatti headed over. At 11 minutes Abdülkerim Bardakcı's pass found Victor Osimhen but Perin denied the finish. Locatelli's roughly 30-metre shot in the 22nd minute was pushed to a corner by Uğurcan Çakır. In the 30th minute Kenan Yıldız's shot took a deflection off Davinson Sanchez and Uğurcan blocked the attempt. A Jeremie Boga pass in the 79th minute set up Kenan Yıldız whose effort hit the post, and a 96th-minute McKennie pass found Edon Zhegrova with a clear chance that went wide.
Substitutions and the extra-time breakthrough: Osimhen and Barış Alper
Galatasaray made a change when Torreira was replaced by Singo in the 103rd minute; Juventus brought on Miretti for Kenan Yıldız. In extra time Victor Osimhen scored from a Barış Alper pass to reduce the deficit (recorded in the context at 105+1), and Barış Alper Yılmaz then converted in the 119th minute to make it 3-2 in the match. Osimhen's goal milestone was highlighted: with his scoring he reached 13 goals in European competition for Galatasaray, becoming the club's highest-scoring foreign player in European cups.
Aggregate outcome, next opponents and the draw details
Despite Juventus winning the second leg 3-2 after extra time, the aggregate score stood at 5-5 and Galatasaray advanced to the UEFA Champions League Son 16 (last 16) round thanks to their 5-2 first-leg victory. Galatasaray will face either Tottenham or Liverpool in the next round. The UEFA Champions League last-16 draw will be held on 27 February 2026, Friday at 14: 00 Turkey time at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
Player-of-the-match and closing moments
Victor Osimhen was named player of the match following his extra-time goal. Juventus had urgent late chances in extra time, including a 111th-minute Edon Zhegrova attempt that Uğurcan Çakır saved and earlier missed opportunities, but the 5 minutes of added time at the end of normal time took the fixture into extra time and ultimately into the dramatic finish that sent Galatasaray through.
