Promise David scored the only goal as Belgian side Union Saint-Gillois ended their three-match Champions League losing streak by beating Galatasaray in Istanbul.
Canadian striker David was on hand to sweep home Adem Zorgen’s cutback in the 57th minute, one of the few clear-cut 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 play in the absence of the injured Victor Osimhen, who is the top scorer in the Champions League this season with six goals.
Former Manchester City players Ilkay Gundogan and Leroy Sane had quiet evenings, as did former Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain striker Mauro Icardi.
Sara went close late on when his header was blocked by Union goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen, before former Tottenham defender Davinson Sanchez headed the ball in from close range when it looked easy to score.
Galatasaray’s frustration increased late on when Arda Unay was shown a second yellow card for a careless tackle.
The Turkish giants were looking to register a fourth consecutive Champions League win for the first time in their history, but remained on nine points after five matches – while Union increased their total points to six.
