Bayern Munich made a trip to Istanbul to face Galatasaray, who had remained unbeaten in all 18 matches of the season thus far.

Thomas Tuchel's team, who are gaining momentum as the season progresses rapidly, faced the formidable challenge of securing victory in front of the boisterous home supporters at the Rams Global Stadium.

The game sprang to life in the eighth minute of the first half when Kingsley Coman unexpectedly scored a goal against the run of play.

The Bavarian side, struggling to cope with the intensity posed by Okan Buruk's team, would later concede a penalty due to a rash challenge from their captain for the night, Joshua Kimmich. According to a TNT Sport report, striker Mauro Icardi levelled the score with a clever finish from the penalty spot.
