Group F: BVB has been biting its teeth for some time at Zenit
With Roman Bürki and Manuel Akanji in the starting lineup, BVB struggled to decipher Zenit St Petersburg’s close-knit defense in the first half. Giovanni Reyna (15th minute) and Erling Haaland (42nd minute) had the best chance of taking the lead for the home team.
In the 78th minute, Dortmund were finally awarded 1-0 for their selfless style of play. Vyacheslav Karawajew put Thorgan Hazard in the 16th and Jadon Sancho kept his nerve from the spot. Haaland set the final point 2-0 in injury time after a tee from Bürki. After the 1: 3 defeat against Lazio a week ago, they are the first 3 points for Lucien Favre’s team.
Lazio started well away to Bruges. The Italians took the lead in the 14th minute with Joaquín Correa. However, just before half-time, the home team came to an astonishing 1: 1 draw through a converted foul penalty from Hans Vanaken, which was also the final result.
Group H: ManUnited and PSG win
Stand at the back and counter-attack in front: This tactic worked perfectly for Manchester United in their home game against RB Leipzig. On 22 minutes, Paul Pogba overtook Mason Greenwood, who put the “Red Devils” up 1-0. The young man started from a suspicious position, but the VAR did not intervene.
Leipzig crushes the equalizer, but fails because of the English bulwark and goalkeeper David de Gea, who after a good hour miraculously saved against Ibrahima Konaté. ManUnited continued to stick to the aforementioned counterattack tactic. And it worked again: Bruno Fernandes sent Marcus Rashford, who remained calm in front of Péter Gulácsi and scored the 2-0. Leipzig then fell in its individual parts, while Manchester could still score 3 goals from the three packers Rashford (78th minute and 90th minute) and Anthony Martial (87th minute). With this victory, the British consolidate their advantage in Group H.
For Paris Saint-Germain an hour to forget in the away match from Basaksehir Istanbul. Superstar Neymar was replaced after just 26 minutes due to injury and Paris could not find a recipe against the hosts’ deep defense.
So the goal of scoring 1-0 in the 64th minute wasn’t surprising after a standard. A corner from Kylian Mbappé finds the head of Moise Kean, who enters with head without limitations. This shot was the “can opener” for the Frenchman, as Kean doubled in the 79th minute to make it 2-0. Here too Mbappé was able to get an assist.
Group E: Chelsea beat Krasnodar
Krasnodar goalkeeper Matwei Safonov probably didn’t know what happened to him in the 14th minute: Chelsea midfielder Jorgihno ran for the visitors’ penalty, accidentally blew up earlier – and failed. The ball went left inside the post, then behind Safonov and then back onto the pitch.
23 minutes later Safonov was again in the spotlight, but this time unhappy. Callum Hudson-Odoi shot out of the penalty area and the Krasnodar goalkeeper let the ball slip into the goal. For Chelsea, the 1-0 win was their first goal in this Champions League campaign. And thanks to Timo Werner (76th minute), Hakim Ziyech (79th minute) and Christian Pulisic (90th minute), the “Blues” were followed by 3 more until the final 4-0.
It took Sevilla 55 minutes to take the lead at home against the outsider Rennes. Marcos Acuña brought the game device from the left in front of the goal, where Luuk de Jong entered perfectly and threw the ball into the goal with a direct touch. The Dutchman became the match winner for Sevilla FC.
