Game 8:

Group D

Galatasaray AS 0 vs. RSC Anderlecht 0

The first draw of the tournament and a scoreless one at that. Galatasaray had the better of play with a 8-1 advantage on shots on goal, they just couldn't find the back of the net. They deserved better.

City take a 1-0 leads on a Dzeko header in the 7th minute, but Lewadowski tied it 10 minutes later and then scored again in the 2nd half to give Munich the win in the Group E opener. City hit 2 posts and a crossbar otherwise this could have been the opposite result.
