HALF-TIME: GALATASARY 0-1 REAL MADRID
45'
There will be a minimum of one minute added time played.
44'
The visitors look very confident going forward, but are lacking a holding midfielder, someone who will just sit deep and protect the defence. This is leaving them exposed at the back at the moment.
42'
There's just a few minutes remaining on the clock now until the break, can Galatasary find an equaliser before the half-time whistle? Or, will Real extend their lead?
40'
Decent chance! Benzema finds acres of space in behind and he tries to fire the ball into the top left-hand corner of the net from the edge of the penalty area. However, the powerful effort flies high over the crossbar.
36'
The pace of the game hasn't dropped, but the quality is lacking, with both teams just struggling to keep the ball in their opponent's final third.
32'
The Galatasary midfield are all over the place at the moment, they aren't sticking to their formation and are instead chasing the Real players around the pitch.
30'

23'
Decent chance! Benzema and Rodrygo play a one-two on the edge of the penalty area and the latter finds space to volley the ball towards goal. However, he gets it all wrong and it flies well wide.

18'

GOOOAAALLL! Real Madrid take the lead, it's 1-0! Kroos breaks the deadlock after 18 minutes. Hazard made a good run down the left, he cuts it back for Benzema, who misses it and instead it falls to Kroos, who sidefoots the ball into the back of the net, virture of a slight deflection, that takes it past Muslera.
Hazard and Benzema play a quick one-two on the edge of the box and Hazard looks like he is going to shoot at goal himself, but instead he tries to feed Benzema, but it's too far behind him. However, Kroos is waiting in the right place and slots it home.
17'
The pace is electric here, both defences have been poor and look like they could be opened up every time their opponents attack. There should've been a couple of goals at least already!
15'
Good chance! Benzema now with the opportunity, he tries to curl the ball into the bottom right-hand corner, but the keeper reads it well and the striker doesn't get enough pace on it, so Muslera is able to make a good save.

Almost a third chance! Babel this time with the opportunity, as a good long ball comes his way and he finds space in the box, but just can't quite control it in time and Courtois isn't called into action this time.

Hello and welcome to our LIVE match commentary of the Group A Champions League clash between Galatasary and Real Madrid at the Turk Telekom Stadium.
Both teams are yet to win a game Group A, with Galatasary suffering a 1-0 defeat against PSG and then drawing 0-0 against Club Brugge. Meanwhile, Real endured a tough night in Paris, losing 3-0 and they then had to come from behind to draw 2-2 with Club Brugge last time out.
GALATASARY (4-3-3): Fernando Muslera; Mariano, Christian Luyindama, Marcao, Yuto Nagatomo; Steven Nzonzi, Jean Michael Seri, Ryan Donk; Younes Belhanda, Ryan Babel, Florin Andone.

The hosts haven't enjoyed the best start to the domestic season, they currently sit sixth after eight games, but they won their last game, beating Sivasspor 3-2 at home. Meanwhile Real are second in LaLiga, one point behind Barcelona, having suffered a 1-0 defeat away at Real Mallorca on Saturday.
The teams are out on the pitch and kick-off is just a few minutes away, stay tuned for all of the match action!
It's a very open game, with both teams looking dangerous in attack and weak at the back. There have been a few opportunities that have stemmed from defensive mistakes. Galatasary are yet to score in the Champions League group stage yet this season, but they've certainly shown that they are capable tonight, they'll be confident of getting back into the game as it stands.
That's all from us tonight folks, we hope you enjoyed the game!
This victory moves Real Madrid up to second in Group A, but they are still five points behind PSG at the top. Whilst Galatasary are bottom, with just one point so far. The Spanish side now have a break, due to their game against Barcelona being postponed, so they don't return to LaLiga action until next week. Meanwhile Galatasary face Besiktas on Sunday in their domestic league.
