David’s Goal Secures Union Saint-Gilloise’s 1-0 Win Over Galatasaray

In a tightly contested Champions League match in Istanbul, Union Saint-Gilloise triumphed over Galatasaray with a single goal. Striker Promise David scored the decisive goal in the 57th minute, effectively ending Union’s three-game losing streak in the tournament.

Match Highlights

The only goal of the match came from David, who connected with a cutback from Adem Zorgane. This opportunity was one of the few clear chances seen during the game.

First Half Drama

Both teams had chances to take the lead in the first half. Galatasaray’s Gabriel Sara struck the post with a powerful 25-yard shot. Union captain Christian Burgess also went close, hitting the crossbar with a header.

Galatasaray’s Struggles

Galatasaray struggled to find their rhythm without key player Victor Osimhen, the current top scorer in the Champions League with six goals. Other notable players such as Ilkay Gundogan, Leroy Sane, and Mauro Icardi had limited impact on the game.

Missed Opportunities

Galatasaray’s Sara nearly equalized late in the match, but his header was parried by Union goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen.
Davinson Sanchez missed a close-range opportunity, shooting over the bar when scoring seemed likely.

Late Tensions

As frustration mounted for Galatasaray, Arda Unyay received a second yellow card for a reckless tackle. The team was aiming for their fourth consecutive Champions League victory, a first in their history, but instead remained at nine points after five matches.
