Galatasaray v Stuttgart

The full-time whistle sounds at RAMS Park as Galatasaray defeat Stuttgart 2-0 on matchday four of this Champions League league-phase contest. After Leweling agonisingly hit both posts in the eighth minute, Galatasaray took the lead in the 12th minute with Batrakov rifling a close-range strike into the roof of the net. Three minutes later, Batrakov got his fourth goal of the 2026-27 Champions League campaign, slotting a finish through Bredlow’s legs from the right of the box. Fuhrich almost pulled one back for the visitors, but the German curled an attempt past the upright. Cakir had to be alert in the second half to deny Undav and Fuhrich before the latter had a goal chalked off for offside. Pejcinovic should have found the back of the net minutes before full-time, but the substitute saw his one-v-one effort thwarted by the feet of Cakir. The hosts created 13 shots with four on target, reflected by an xG of 1.01, whereas the visitors registered 13 shots with five on target, highlighted by an xG of 1.77. That concludes our live commentary of this contest. We hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading and take care!

FULL-TIME: GALATASARAY 2-0 STUTTGART

Assignon has space on the right of the box before sending a cross into the six-yard area, but Tomas can only direct a header well wide of the left-hand post!

There will be four minutes of additional time at the end of the second half.

In this second half, Stuttgart have registered six shots with four on target. This is reflected by an xG of 0.89.

A BIG SAVE! How have Stuttgart not scored?! Undav threads an exquisite pass into the path of Pejcinovic, who is one-v-one with Cakir, but his strike is thwarted by the feet of the Galatasaray goalkeeper!
