And after having Juan Cabal sent off in the first leg, another dismissal followed for the Italian side in the 49th minute. This time it was for English centre-back Lloyd Kelly, who had a second yellow card upgraded to a straight red in controversial circumstances. That looked to have derailed the home side's chances, but amazingly they responded superbly with 10 men. And with the clock ticking down, Yilmaz put the contest beyond doubt with another break and composed finish past home goalkeeper Mattia Perin. A relieved Galatasaray will now face either Liverpool or Tottenham on their first last-16 appearance in Europe's elite club competition since 2013-14.
