A draw that is equivalent to a half defeat, against a team that has almost nothing left to ask of the competition. Galatasaray throws away a success that would have been synonymous with safe qualification and scores 3-3 against Dinamo Kiev, who win their first point. Ahead by two goals at two points in the match, Okan’s boys suffered a comeback from the Ukrainians, led by the eternal Yarmolenko. Osimeh scores from a penalty but it’s not enough, everything postponed until next week.
