INTERESTING MOMENTS IN LISBON

Galatasaray's Uruguayan star Lucas Torreira scored the goal that put his team ahead in the 6th minute of the match, a first for himself.

There was chaos in the penalty area when Jakobs took a long throw-in from the left wing in Galatasaray. Davinson Sanchez touched the ball coming to the front post from close range. This time Torreira volleyed the ball, which was barely diverted by goalkeeper Rui Silva, inside the goal area.

The ball bounced off the defense and headed towards the goal, and Rui Silva deflected the ball once again.

THE ENTIRE BALL CROSSED THE LINE

However, there was a short-term uncertainty as to whether the entire ball crossed the goal line.

While most of the players were looking at the referee, after the warning from the goal line technology, the referee pointed to the halfway point and awarded Galatasaray's goal.

A FIRST IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

This goal brought a first in his career for Lucas Torreira.

Galatasaray's star midfielder celebrated a goal for the first time in the 24th Champions League match of his career.

MADE HISTORY

Torreira also made history with this goal.

The Uruguayan star scored one of Galatasaray's earliest away goals in the Champions League, after Ümit Karan's goal against Barcelona in December 2001.
