Copenhagen seized an early opportunity in the 27th minute when Roony Bardghji narrowly missed a chance to put his side ahead. Meanwhile, Thomas Mueller’s close-range header for Bayern faced a strong challenge from Copenhagen’s keeper Kamil Grabara.
Known for their resolute defense this season, Copenhagen continued to showcase their defensive prowess, restricting Bayern’s chances. The visitors maintained a solid backline, with Diogo Goncalves coming close to breaking the deadlock just moments into the second half with a well-curled shot.
Currently sitting second in the group standings with five points, the Danish outfit’s path to the knockout stages hinges on a crucial match against Galatasaray. The Turkish side also sits at five points after a thrilling 3-3 draw against bottom-placed Manchester United.
Bayern Munich, despite facing a resilient Copenhagen side, managed to extend their unbeaten streak in group-stage matches to an impressive 39 games. Manuel Neuer, the Bayern keeper, emerged as a pivotal figure, making a crucial double save to deny Elyounoussi and maintain the German champions’ unbeaten run.
With Bayern already securing the top spot in the group with 13 points, the battle intensifies between Copenhagen and Galatasaray for the coveted spots in the knockout rounds of the Champions League.
