ISTANBUL, Turkey (AP) — Galatasaray scored twice from the 86th minute to salvage a 2-2 draw at home with 10-man FC Copenhagen on Wednesday in a Champions League group where they are outsiders up against Bayern Munich and Manchester United.

In a thrilling finish at the Ali Sami Yen Sports Complex, Sacha Boey reduced Galatasaray’s deficit by drilling a shot into the roof of the net before substitute Tete met a cross from Wilfried Zaha with a left-footed volley from the edge of the area that crept inside the near post in the 88th.

Copenhagen, playing its second straight season in the Champions League, was coping well until the sending-off defender Elias Jelert for a second booking in the 73rd.

“We had a situation where we had it all under control," Copenhagen captain Rasmus Falk said, "and then we got a red card.”

Mohamed Elyounoussi chested down and shot home powerfully in the 35th to put the Danish champions in front and Diogo Gonçalves added the second in the 58th after Copenhagen broke the offside trap.

Galatasaray brought a six-game winning streak into the match on its return to the tournament for the first time since 2019 and had the better of the chances before falling behind.

Kerem Aktürkoğlu struck a shot against crossbar and Mauro Icardi had a shot turned aside as the striker sought has ninth goal in as many matches this season.
