Sneijder's goal sinks Juventus

Wesley Sneijder ended a year of contrasting fortunes by scoring the winning goal against Juventus on Wednesday, propelling Galatasaray into the Champions League knockout stages.

Six months ago, Sneijder's career was at a crossroads after he was stripped of the captaincy of the Dutch national team, then left off the squad because of a lack of fitness.

His 85th-minute goal is a payback for Galatasaray, which paid a reported $13.8 million for the Inter Milan midfielder in January.
