AGENCIES – Bayern Munich had a penalty awarded and then withdrawn in stoppage time as they dropped points for the first time in the Champions League this season with a 0-0 draw against FC Copenhagen.

The German side thought they had a golden chance to win it late on when handball was called in the box, but the decision was overturned following a VAR intervention.

It marked the first time for more than five-and-a-half years that Bayern have failed to score in a home Champions League game, with Thomas Muller and Harry Kane having the best chances for the hosts.

The point boosts Copenhagen’s hopes of reaching the last 16, leaving them in second place in Group A, level on five points with Galatasaray, who they face in their final game.

A classic was played out in Istanbul as Galatasaray and Manchester United took a point each from a breathless, rollercoaster 3-3 draw.

Early goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes put United in control, but Hakim Ziyech struck twice either side of a Scott McTominay goal before Kerem Akturkoglu lashed in a 71st-minute leveller.
