Bayern Munich vs Manchester United: With three goals in the closing six minutes, Bayern Munich defeated a weakened Manchester United 4-3 in their Group A opener.

Before Harry Kane earned a penalty shortly after, Rasmus Hojlund scored his first goal for Manchester United. Casemiro and Mathys Tel’s late goals, though, made for a thrilling outcome.
