Como flying on UCL debut; Man Utd lead newcomers; Bayern ahead of Bodø | OneFootball

ANOTHER STUNNER FOR BAYERN! 

This time it's Michael Olise who casually lashed the ball into the top corner from nearly 30 yards out. Just an unbelievable strike, and now Bayern are four goals to the good! 

We only really have one match that is still in the balance as we head into the final five minutes of regular time. 

Lens are still pushing for a winning goal against 10-man Slavia Praha away from home. Let's see if they can find the winner...

GOAL FOR BAYERN! 

This time it's Alphonso Davies who has absolutely leathered the ball into the back of the net from the edge of the box. Blink and you will miss it! 

GOAL FOR LENS! 

The French side have pulled level against the 10 men of Slavia Praha and it's former Slavia boy Abdallah Sima who has broken the hearts of his former supporters. 

GOAL MANCHESTER UNITED!

United have their fourth and it's a fortunate one. After an attempted back-heel from Joshua Zirkzee, a fortunate bounce put the ball on a platter for Lisandro Martínez, and the Argentine tapped home. 

GOAL FOR BAYERN! KANE GETS ON THE SCORESHEET! 

Bayern have their second goal, and it comes from who else but Harry Kane? The Englishman tapped home at the back-post to double the home side's lead and all but settle this one. 

GOAL FOR RB LEIPZIG, THEY PULL ONE BACK! 

Could the German outfit make this a game once again? A fantastic curling effort from the edge of the box has cut the lead to just two goals. Goalscorer Andrija Maksimović has come close on multiple occasions tonight and now he has goal. 

GOAL FOR COMO! 

The goals are flying in around the grounds now as Como have gone three goals to the good thanks to a superb Assane Diao strike from an acute angle.

GOAL FOR SLAVIA AFTER THE RED CARD! 

Who needs the 11th player!? Slavia have taken the lead after going down to 10 men, and it was a Danijel Šturm stunner that puts the home side ahead. 

GOAL FOR BAYERN! 

After a frustrating first half, Bayern have opened the scoring in the first five minutes of the second interval! 

A superb story as well as it's Jamaal Musiala who fired home the opener. 

RED CARD FOR SLAVIA! 

It's a horror cameo for Mikulas Konecny, who only came on at the start of the second-half. In fewer than five minutes he is sent off for a denial of goalscoring opportunity! 

The hosts are down to 10 men for the remainder of the first-half! 

We're back underway for the final 45 minutes around the grounds in the Champions League this evening.

What an end to the half for Manchester United! 

HALF-TIME AROUND THE GROUNDS! 

ANOTHER MANCHESTER UNITED GOAL! 

The home side wasted no time to go three goals ahead, this time it's Benjamin Šeško who puts his name on the scoresheet in the Champions League for the first time this season! 

After a slow start, United are running away with this one now...

GOAL MANCHESTER UNITED! 

The Red Devils are off and running in the Champions League this season as they double their lead over Azerbaijani outfit Sabah.

After Matheus Cunha opened the scoring, United captain Bruno Fernandes has doubled the lead with a quality finish from the centre of the penalty box. 

ANOTHER GOAL FOR COMO! 

The hosts are flying in their Champions League debut! A superb ball in behind played in Anastasios Douvikas, and the striker fired home with only the keeper to beat. Como are two goals to the good! 

RB Leipzig looked all but set to score the equaliser against Como as Andrija Maksimović fired a superb curling effort toward the top corner, but Como keeper Jean Butez flew across the his goalmouth to make a brilliant save. 

Huge chance goes begging for Sabah! 

Somehow, some way, Sabah did not pull level at Old Trafford after Christian Nwachukwu was left all alone at the back post, but the forward sent his scuffed header just wide from point-blank range! 

GOAL RULED OUT FOR SLAVIA PRAHA! 

The hosts looked to be fired into the lead by Emmanuel Ayaosi, but the referee has ruled it out because the Nigerian handled the ball before firing home.

Lens let off the hook! 

GOAL FOR MANCHESTER UNITED! 

Michael Carrick's side have finally found the breakthrough against Sabah as a pinpoint Patrick Dorgu cross picked out Matheus Cunha, who stabbed home from point-blank range to open the scoring at Old Trafford! 

Chance for Manchester United as a superb Kobbie Mainoo pass over the top found Burno Fernandes, but the United skipper saw his cross cut out at the last second. 

It's been a frustrating start for Bayern in Munich this evening as they struggle to find a way past Bodø/Glimt.

GOAL FOR COMO! 

Cesc Fabregas' side take the lead on their first Champions League goal in club history! A slick move down the right eventually found it's way to Martin Baturina, who slotted home after slipping in the penalty area. 

Double chance for Como! 

The Italian side played some slick stuff in midfield to spring a counter-attack, but the eventual shot from Anastasios Douvikas was saved. 

A pair of successive corners for Manchester United as they put the pressure on newcomers Sabah from Azerbaijan. 

It's been a bright start for Como in their maiden Champions League voyage, forcing RB Leipzig keeper Maarten Vandevoordt into a pair of early saves. 

Huge chance for Bayern! 

A superb ball in the box was almost too good as two different Bayern forwards went to slot it home, but the crossed wires meant the ball was pushed over the bar. 

Big chance for Slavia in the opening minutes but it's fluffed, sparing Lens of an early hole.

And we're underway! 

The teams are out around the grounds as we get set to kickoff in this evening's later fixtures in the Champions League. 

Michael Carrick weighs in on Luke Shaw's absence from the Manchester United team this evening.

VAR OVERTURN! Fenerbahçe 1-1 Roma 

There's drama in Istanbul as the visitors appeared to have been gifted a chance to retake their initial lead after Dybala was brought down by Aktürkoglu but VAR intervenes and found the foul took place just outisde the box

The pressure's on for Man Utd ahead of their return to Europe's elite stage

SECOND HALF

Off we go again in the early games

Bayern Munich v Bodø/Glimt

Man Utd v Sabah

HALF TIME

Fenerbahçe 0-1 Roma

PSV 0-1 Shakhtar Donetsk

GOAL! PSV 0-1 SHAKHTAR DONETSK

Right on the stroke of half-time, we also have an opener in Eindhoven! Mendoza produces a really special effort inside the box to put the visitors ahead

What a signing he's been for the Giallorossi, by the way!

GOAL! FENERBAHCE 0-1 ROMA

We finally have a breakthrough! Malen produces a great run across the edge of the box before teeing up Cristante, who takes a touch and fires into the bottom righthand corner of Ederson's net.

Neither game has really caught the imagination so far but it's over in Türkiye where the real storyline is as Roma come up against Greenwood, who was a target in the summer before joining Fenerbahçe. But the one-time England international isn't making the visitors regret missing out on him with a speculative long-range effort that is way off target

KICK OFF

The evening starts with two early games as Roma make their long-awaited return to Europe's elite away to Fenerbahçe while PSV host Shakhtar Donetsk. Later, Manchester United entertain Sabah in their own anticipated return while Bayern Munich take on last season's surprise package Bodø/Glimt.
