galatasaray sk produced another fine display to beat pfc cska sofia and cruise into the uefa champions league group stage. two free-kicks the turkish side wrapped up their second 3-0 victory in a fortnight against the bulgarian champions, despite cska starting brightly and going close with emil gargorov's early free-kick. brazilian césar prates demonstrated his expertise from dead-ball situations by scoring galatasaray's first goal with a 28th-minute free-kick.
cska outclassed sabri sarioglu cut in from the left to score the visitors' second ten minutes after half-time and as spirited but outclassed cska pushed forward in search of a consolation goal, arif erdem rounded off the scoring on the counter-attack four minutes from the end.
