There was no other choice for Copenhagen other than to play defensively and maximize opportunities when counter-attacking. Manchester City dominated this match too much even though they actually didn't score more than 2 goals so far. Copenhagen's defense in the second half was much more closed and they looked good defensively, but Manchester City will never be comfortable with a 1-2 score like this.
Copenhagen is used to defensive style of play since in their group stage matches, they are usually it a team that play possession football, they only focus on any counter attack they have to make their goals from them, but Manchester narrowed them to only one short on goal today.
This is almost a straight hope for City, they are almost in the quarter final stage because I don’t think Copenhagen is good to score more than one goal away from home against team like Manchester City.
Manchester City is expected to defeat Copenhagen, home and away especially now that all their key players are back though Jack got injured yesterday in the game but is not a big woe to them since they can have another player, play that position well.
Ederson mistake was capitalise by M. Mattsson, who's a new signing for the Copenhagen team and this was their only shot on target. I don't think there will be such opportunity for them in their next match especially when it will be played at Etihad stadium, I'm expecting Haaland to get a goal in that match.
Real Madrid also performed well in the away match against Leipzig. This is an impressive match, especially because Leipzig also doesn't want to lose at home. The score of 0-1 still remained before the match ended, but Leipzig was still trying to avoid defeat and so far they have good statistics. Leipzig haven't had much luck, but let's see until the end of the game.
The match ended 0-1. Away team Real Madrid won the match, but the match is a 50/50 match because Leipzig is always a strong opposition to Real Madrid. If Leipzig can do more in the second Leg, they can qualify because some of the Real Madrid players are injured.
Madrid did well against Rb Leipzig to get 1 goal to nil win with an excellent finish from Diaz, is good to see him step up well at Jude absent but hope his injury is not too serious. Real Madrid almost got another goal but the ball from Junior hit the post, though Rb leipzig did get a goal disallowed but overall Lunin did excellently well yesterday.
The second leg will be in Bernabeu, which is Real Madrid and key players like Rudiger and Jude will be available with the advantage of Real Madrid playing at their home ground, it will be hard for Rb leipzig to get a win and move any further in Champions league this season.
