Lille lead Galatasaray 2-1 after Yunus Akgün's early record goal

Galatasaray took an early lead at Lille in their Champions League match in France on October 21.

Yunus Akgün scored after 65 seconds, making it the club's fastest goal in the competition and beating Victor Osimhen's previous record.

Lille equalised in the seventh minute through Soriba Diaoune, who scored again in the 39th minute to put the hosts 2-1 ahead.

The match was part of the Champions League league phase, and both teams were seeking their first points after losing their opening two matches.

Galatasaray had a penalty awarded in the 27th minute after Osimhen went down in the box, but referee Rade Obrenovic overturned the decision following a VAR review.

Osimhen had played for Lille in the 2019-20 season, making this a return to his former club.

The match was still underway in the latest update, so the final result and what it means for the teams' progress were not yet known.
