Copenhagen defeats Man City 1-0 (RESULT)

Posted by

Ten-man In a match where VAR predominated, Manchester City missed a penalty and had a goal disallowed while Copenhagen forced them to wait to advance to the last 16 of the Champions League.

Two disputed rulings in a dramatic start set the tone for the evening.

In contrast, the visitors benefited from being awarded a penalty when the ball struck home defender Nicolai Boilesen on the arm as he competed for a corner with Manuel Akanji.

Rodri’s excellent 25-yard effort for City was ruled out after Riyad Mahrez was penalized for handling.

To the delight of a boisterous Parken Stadium crowd, however, Copenhagen goalkeeper Kamil Grabara brilliantly saved Mahrez’s penalty kick.

Five minutes later, however, Sergio Gomez of Pep Guardiola’s team was dismissed for a professional foul on 19-year-old forward Hakon Haraldsson.
