Galatasaray defeated Liverpool with the same score of 1-0 in the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16, held in Istanbul. In the first match, which took place on September 30 in the group stage, the Turkish team also won 1-0. The match began with high pressure from Liverpool in Galatasaray's defensive zone, which forced the home team's players to make many mistakes in building out from the back. As a result, the visitors had several opportunities to open the scoring, the most notable of which was a shot attempt by German Florian Wirtz, who missed the left post (2nd minute). The only goal of the match was scored from a corner kick in the 7th minute by its executor, Brazilian Lemina. In the center of the field, Gabonese midfielder Mario Lemina led his club Galatasaray to a 1-0 victory over Liverpool.
