Galatasaray will take a three-goal lead to Turin after coming from behind to beat Juventus in a frenetic first leg of their Champions League knockout phase play-off tie.
The hosts trailed 2-1 at half-time but produced a superb fightback to lead 3-2 by the hour mark through goals from Noa Lang and Davinson Sanchez.
That came after Juventus had launched an excellent response of their own to complete a 17-minute first-half turnaround, through Teun Koopmeiners' double, after going behind to Gabriel Sara's opener.
However, the second half went from bad to worse for the Serie A side.
Half-time substitute Juan Cabal received a second yellow card just 21 minutes after his introduction to leave Juventus a goal and a man down.
The Turkish champions were relentless in attempting to make their man advantage count.
Lang punished lax Juventus defending for his second on the night, before Sacha Boey added a late fifth to put Okan Buruk's side in firm control of the tie.
The return leg takes place in Turin on Wednesday, 25th February (20:00 GMT).
