The Europa League third qualifying round first-leg was played in Istanbul and the hosts had enjoyed a two-goal buffer with fifteen minutes remaining thanks to an Arda Turan double.

Lucas Neill had started the contest - and played a full game, picking up a late booking - while Kewell was introduced as a 67th minute sub and instantly caused trouble on the wing.

But they were powerless to stop OFK scoring two late goals from Nenad Injic and Milos Krstic which silenced the parochial crowd at the Ali Sami Yen.

The result leaves Galatasaray needing a win in the return-leg in Serbia which will played next Thursday.

Elsewhere overnight in the Europa League third qualifying round, young Socceroos prospect Tommy Oar was a 69th minute sub as FC Utrecht defeated FC Luzern 1-0.

Fellow Australians Michael Zullo and Adam Sarota were not in the Utrecht matchday squad.

Aussie goalkeeper Ante Covic put in a full shift and kept a clean sheet as IF Elfsborg swept aside Macedonian club Teteks 5-0.

Socceroos pair Brett Holman and James Holland were not in the AZ Alkmaar side which defeated Swedish outfit IFK Goteborg 2-0.
