The Gray Tigers firmly established themselves at the top of Group A of the Champions League after a night of brave figҺting.
Although considered more comprehensive than Copenhagen, Bayern Munich had a struggling day. Statistics show that the away team did not have any shots on target until the end of the first half. The reason is that Copenhagen’s defense played too well to neutralize Bayern’s two flankers, Kingsley Coman and Leroy Sane, while Kane was blocked.
The surprise came in the second half when midfielder Lukas Lerager scored the opening goal for Copenhagen. This player took the opportunity to shoot the live ball after Viktor Claesson’s shot in the 56th minute was blocked by Bayern defenders.

In the 67th minute, Bayern equalized after dribbling in front of three defenders and then scoring Musiala’s skillful shot to the far corner. The goal was like a mentаl stimulаnt for the away team’s players to exert themselves in the remaining time.
In the 81st minute, Thomas Muller escaped and broke the offside trap against the goalkeeper, but he turned around and eliminated the two accompanying defenders. Then came an assist for Mathys Tel to score into an empty net, sealing a 2-1 victory for Bayern.
