Burak treble puts Galatasaray back in contention
Galatasaray AŞ are second in UEFA Champions League Group H after a 3-1 victory at CFR 1907 Cluj.
The Turkish title holders started the day with only a point to their name but are now ahead of CFR by virtue of their superior head-to-head record. Striker Burak Yılmaz proved their hero in Romania, wrapping up a hat-trick with two second-half goals after Modou Sougou had cancelled out his opening effort.

- Burak hat-trick earns visitors three points

- CFR briefly level after Sougou effort
- Both teams deadlocked on four points in Group H
- Second place still up for grabs but Manchester United through

Our players played and fought against a quality team and that is why they deserve congratulations. We should be proud.

I am very happy because we showed what was overshadowed in the first game in Istanbul. I congratulate our opponents.
