Kewell hits double as Galatasaray cruise in Europe

Harry Kewell scored twice as Galatasaray cruised to a 5-1 away win over OFK Belgrade in Europa League qualifying.

The Australian international hit the target in the 22nd minute to make it 2-0 to the Turks following Mustafa Sarp's opener.

Gala and OFK were stuck at 2-2 after the first leg and the Serbians were back in the contest when Danilo Nikolic scored just after the half-hour mark to make it 2-1 on the night and 4-3 overall.

But their hopes were soon evaporated when Kewell converted a 57th minute penalty before Arda Turan and Mehmet Batdal made it 5-1 enabling Gala to go through to the next phase 7-3 on aggregate.
