Sports Desk, 18 sep (EFE).- On Wednesday’s second day of Champions League Matchday 1, Paris Saint-Germain beat Girona 1-0, Manchester City and Inter Milan drew 0-0 and Borussia Dortmund beat Club Brugge 3-0.
Girona kept Paris Saint-Germain at bay for much of its historic Champions League debut but conceded a 90th-minute goal to Portuguese left-back Nuno Mendes, whose seemingly harmless shot slipped through the legs of the Catalan club’s Argentine goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga.
It was the first time in its 94-year history that the La Liga team had qualified for the championship.
Inter Milan and Manchester City battled to a 0-0 draw at the Etihad Stadium, with Inter having the better of the two sides but wasting several chances.
Marcus Thuram, Nico Barella, and Hakan Calhanoglou all had chances to score, but they failed to capitalize.
Borussia Dortmund beat Brugge 3-0 despite a relatively even match in which the Belgians had the better chances.
Two goals from England’s Jamie Gittens and an extra-time penalty from Serhou Guirsassi gave the Prussians the win.
Also on Wednesday, Celtic beat Slovan Bratislava 5-1, Sparta Prague beat Red Bull Salzburg 3-0, and Bologna and Shakhtar Donetsk tied 0-0.EFE
