Match Report: Manchester City Dominate, Copenhagen Hold On





Manchester City cruised to a comfortable 5-0 victory over Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday evening, but the Danish side showed resilience to hold on for a respectable scoreline.

City started the match as the clear favorites and wasted no time in taking the lead. Erling Haaland opened the scoring in the 7th minute with a close-range finish, and Riyad Mahrez doubled the lead just 11 minutes later.

Copenhagen defended stoutly for the remainder of the first half, but City's relentless pressure eventually wore them down. Phil Foden made it 3-0 in the 55th minute, and Haaland completed his hat-trick with two goals in the final 10 minutes to seal the victory.

Despite the lopsided scoreline, Copenhagen goalkeeper Kamil Grabara put in a standout performance, making several impressive saves to prevent the margin of defeat from being even wider.

The result leaves Manchester City top of Group G with 6 points after two matches, while Copenhagen are bottom with 0 points. Both sides will be back in action next week, with City traveling to face Sevilla and Copenhagen hosting Borussia Dortmund.
