Osimhen penalty sinks Liverpool on thunderous night in Istanbul

— Match Report

Victor Osimhen's first-half penalty gave Galatasaray a 1-0 win over Liverpool on a thunderous Champions League night at RAMS Park, inflicting back-to-back defeats on Arne Slot's side for the second time under the Dutchman.

Slot left Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak on the bench after the weekend loss at Crystal Palace, with Jeremie Frimpong starting at right-wing. But the Premier League champions failed to fire amid a constant cacophony of noise, while Galatasaray claimed their first Champions League home win in seven years.

Early Warning, Then Punishment

Baris Alper Yilmaz gave Liverpool a huge warning in the opening minutes when he was played through on goal, with too much power and pace for right-back Dominik Szoboszlai. The forward forced a good save from Alisson Becker before Liverpool spurned a huge chance of their own.
