Galatasaray pushes Juve back from victory

Roberto Mancini made a dramatic start as Galatasaray coach on Oct. 2 when his team took a shock lead and then fell behind before scoring a late equaliser in a 2-2 draw at Juventus in the Champions League.

The Lions secured their first point under Mancini two weeks after having been routed 6-1 at home by Real Madrid.

Didier Drogba pounced on a defensive blunder in the first half to open the scoring for Galatasaray.

The visitors held on until Arturo Vidal levelled with a controversial penalty in the 78th minute and Juve then went 2-1 up with a Fabio Quagliarella header in the 87th.

The Italian team barely had time to celebrate before Umut Bulut took advantage of more slack defending to score, leaving Juve with two points from two games in Group B and Galatasaray with one.
