Galatasaray rescue a last-minute 1-1 draw at home to Anderlecht thanks to Burak Yilmaz's 93rd-minute goal.

Burak Yilmaz scored with virtually the last kick of the game to hand Galatasaray a point in a 1-1 draw with Anderlecht in Group D of the Champions League this evening.

Galatasaray tested Champions League debutant Davy Roef in the early stages, but the young goalkeeper was equal to Felipe Melo's seventh-minute header.

At the other end, Fernando Muslera snaffled the ball off the feet of Yeori Tielemans.

Matias Suarez arrived as a substitute midway through the half for the visitors and added impetus to their attack, with Ibrahima Conte, Aleksander Mitrovic and Olivier Deschacht all sending shots goalbound shortly after his introduction.

The home side struggled to cope with the energetic visitors, but Melo did see a goalbound strike deflected narrowly over the bar in the 34th minute.

Selcuk Inan then clipped the outside of the post with a free kick in the 40th minute as the hosts began to show signs that they were finding their way back into the game as the half-time whistle blew.

For all their attacking prowess in the first half, the visitors were on the back foot in the early stages of the second period until Dennis Praet put them ahead with a strike that clipped the inside of the post before going in.

Mitrovic then had a glorious chance to make it 2-0 but he panicked and dragged his shot wide, and Andy Najar should have done better than fire straight at Muslera shortly afterwards.

Galatasaray looked for a way back into the game through substitute Bruma, but Roef was off his line quickly to deny the home side.

Inan's set-piece prowess was clear for all to see and he forced Roef into another save in the 65th minute from a free kick.

Yilmaz wasted two late chances before he slotted the ball home in the 93rd minute with the help of Aurelien Chedjou to ensure that Galatasaray took a point from their opening match.
