Champions League Highlights | Copenhagen vs Leverkusen 2-2 | Grimaldo’s Magic & Last-Minute Thriller

A nerve-wracking start to the Champions League! On Matchday 1 of the league phase of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League, the Werkself drew 2-2 (0-1) with Danish record champions FC Copenhagen. After an early goal from Jordan Larsson (9’), the Werkself equalized late on through yet another perfectly struck free-kick from Alejandro Grimaldo (82’). The hosts answered just four minutes later to make it 2-1 from Leverkusen’s perspective. But the Werkself refused to give up and, within five minutes, leveled again at 2-2 through an own goal by Pantelis Hatzidiakos (90+1’) – brilliantly forced by Claudio Echeverri after a dazzling dribble.

Casper human returns to Denmark as by no fear begin their Champions League campaign away at FC Copenhagen. The first action of the day is a goal for the hosts. Ellius Ashur’s cross to Jordan Lson. Like his father, the killer instinct to put the hosts one n up. Plenty of chances in the first half. This one clipping the top of the crossbar. Alonus’s effort there maybe taking a deflection off Fernandez. And the hosts came again. Clever step over set up. Former BBB forward Yuso for Malcoo Mark Flecken with an instinctive save before the break. Second half saw Bayern Fear on the front foot here. Ellas Ben Sigir on his debut clipping the outside of the post as the Vert South staged a fight back. More pressure. Gerald Quanser here in the box setting up Patrick Schik only to be denied by Daniel Kotarski showing a lot of character in the second half. Many changes as well. Echiveri he was denied as well at close range as Binal Fear continue knocking at the door. However, Copenhagen on the counterattack went close with Hescas. Mark Fleen sticking out a boot before upsteps Alejandro Galdo to Bury. Another fantastic free kick. It’s another moment of magic from Alejandro Grimmaldo and a breathless finale continued in the 86th minute. The winger Roberts from Brazil nodding home to put the hosts back into the lead. And it would take another massive fight back in stoppage time from Diver. Eti he forces the issue and it causes the own goal to be turned home. Bay and all fear then leveling things up at the last gasp in the Champions League.
