Copenhagen orchestrated a sensational 4-3 victory against Manchester United, despite Rasmus Hojlund’s early goals giving United a promising start.
The Champions League clash took a turn when Marcus Rashford received a controversial red card, altering the dynamics after United's first-half dominance.
New United forward Hojlund aimed for a hat-trick, propelling United to a 3-0 lead. However, VAR intervened, penalizing Rashford for a red-card challenge on Elias Jelert.
Capitalizing on the setback, Copenhagen leveled the score at 2-2 by halftime.
Despite being reduced to ten men, United rallied and reclaimed the lead with a Bruno Fernandes penalty.
However, Copenhagen staged a remarkable comeback, sealing the win with an 87th-minute goal from Roony Bardghji.
United now faces the challenge of being at the bottom of their group, requiring a victory against Galatasaray to avoid an early group-stage exit.
