PSV Held by Shakhtar, Fenerbahce Draw with Roma on Return to Champions League
Bryan Cristante and Archie Brown scored after halftime as Fenerbahce and Roma each earned one point in their group-stage opener.
- On Thursday, Fenerbahce and Roma drew 1-1 during their Champions League Matchday 1 fixture in Istanbul, with both teams securing a single point to begin the group stage.
- Roma took the lead in the 39th minute when Donyell Malen set up Bryan Cristante, who beat Ederson; Cristante's goal marked his first in Champions League proper, 15 years after his debut for Milan as a 16-year-old.
- A 68th-minute VAR review overturned a penalty awarded to Roma for a foul on Paulo Dybala, as the challenge occurred outside the area; late on, Nathan Ake headed against the Roma crossbar.
- Elsewhere, PSV Eindhoven drew 1-1 at home against Shakhtar Donetsk on Thursday; after trailing to Gleiker Mendoza's first-half strike, the Dutch side equalized when Sergino Dest found the bottom corner immediately after halftime.
- Extending their winless streak in Matchday 1 openers dating back to 2015, PSV remain without a victory in these fixtures, leaving the group wide open as all four clubs prepare for upcoming group-stage matches.
