ISTANBUL. — An 85th minute strike from Wesley Sneijder secured what will go down as a controversial 1-0 win for Galatasaray over Juventus and a place in the last 16 of the Champions League soccer yesterday. Galatasaray’s second win in six games left them second in Group B on seven points, allowing the Turkish giants to join Real Madrid in the last 16 of the competition. Juventus finished third on six points, two more than FC Copenhagen, and drop into the Europa League.

The match resumed in the 32nd minute at the Ali Sami Yen Stadium after officials called a halt to proceedings while the match stood scoreless on Tuesday due to heavy snowfall. AFP.
