FC Copenhagen threw away a two-goal lead to only draw with Galatasaray in their Champions League owner, to the frustration of the Danish champions’ ex-Liverpool keeper
Former Liverpool goalkeeper Kamil Grabara made his frustration clear after his FC Copenhagen team missed a golden opportunity to start their Champions League campaign with an away win.
The Danish champions earned just three points and scored just one goal in last season’s competition, finishing bottom of a group containing Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla. That looked to be set to change away to Galatasaray, though, as Mohamed Elyounoussi put them in front in Istanbul and Diogo Goncalves doubled their lead.
A red card for Elias Jelert gave Galatasaray hope, though, and they seized their opportunity late on. Sacha Boey halved the deficit with four minutes of regular time remaining, and then Wilfried Zaha laid on a late equaliser for former Leicester winger Tete.
With FC Copenhagen facing Bayern Munich in their next game, the dropped points could prove painful. It certainly appeared to feel that way to Grabara, who voiced his frustrations in no uncertain terms.
