Here we go! The whistle pierces through the stadium, and we’re off. Benoit Bastien is the man in charge today, keeping a close eye on every move as the ball rolls forward for kickoff. The tension is electric, let’s see how this one unfolds.
Singo dances down the flank for Galatasaray, whipping in a gorgeous ball into the box! The crowd holds its breath, but the defender reads it perfectly, intercepting with ease and sending the danger packing. Close call.
Singo lets his aggression show a bit too much, and Bastien doesn’t hesitate, free kick to Ajax near the sideline. Tension rising as the Dutch side looks to capitalize!
Meanwhile, Man City edge ahead against Dortmund, with Phil Foden breaking the deadlock in the 22nd minute.
Godts floats in a picture-perfect cross for Ajax, teasing the Galatasaray defence, but they stay alert, clearing it away before any trouble brews.
Mokio pounces on a smart pass and lets fly from mid-range. It’s curling straight for the right post, but Ugurcan Cakir flies across his goal to deny him. What a save.
After a quick moment of confusion, the referee and his assistant point to the corner flag, Ajax awarded a corner. Could be a chance to shake things up before halftime.
The whistle blows, and that’s the first half done! Players head off to the dressing rooms, leaving us on tenterhooks with the score still locked and plenty to play for in the second half.

Sallai has a golden chance for Galatasaray. Space opens up for him at the edge of the box, he lets fly a sizzling shot toward the right side, but the keeper stretches and somehow keeps it out. What a stop.
Cim-Bom strike twice! Osimhen opened the scoring in the 59th minute with a thunderous header that left Pasveer rooted to the spot, and now he doubles the lead, coolly slotting home a penalty into the bottom left after sizing up the keeper. What a brace.
Victor Osimhen completes his hat-trick. He steps up for the penalty and calmly slots it past the outstretched arm of Remko Pasveer, sending Cim-Bom further in control. What a masterclass from the Nigerian striker.
That’s a wrap from us! What a night of football, Victor Osimhen on fire and Cim-Bom cruising to victory. We’ll be back with another live blog soon. Until then, bye bye.
