Promise David scored the only goal as Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise beat Galatasaray in Istanbul to end their three-game losing run in the Champions League.
Canada striker David was on hand in the 57th minute to sweep home Adem Zorgane’s cutback, one of the few clear chances created by either side in Turkey.
Both sides hit the woodwork in the first half – Galatasaray midfielder Gabriel Sara crashed a 25-yard strike against the foot of the post, before Union captain Christian Burgess saw his header cannon off the crossbar.
Galatasaray lacked cutting edge in the absence of the injured Victor Osimhen, who with six goals is the top scorer in the Champions League this season.
Former Manchester City players Ilkay Gundogan and Leroy Sane had quiet evenings, as did former Inter Milan and Paris St-Germain striker Mauro Icardi.
Sara went close late on when Union goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen parried away his header, before former Tottenham defender Davinson Sanchez blazed over from close range when it looked easier to score.
Galatasaray’s frustrations were compounded late on when Arda Unyay was shown a second yellow card for a reckless tackle.
The Turkish giants were looking to record a fourth successive Champions League victory for the first time in their history, but remain on nine points after five games -while Union increase their total to six.
