Galatasaray sealed third spot in Champions League Group C, but only after Astana threatened to pip it to a Europa League place.
Selcuk Inan's equalizer spared Galatasaray's blushes and secured its spot in the knockout stages of the Europa League following a 1-1 draw with Astana at the Turk Telekom Arena.
With both sides already eliminated from the Champions League, the Turkish Super Lig side snatched the point it needed to extend the club's European campaign into the second half of the season, but only after being given a major scare.
