PENALTY SAVE!
Mignolet saves a penalty for Club Brugge! What a start we're having tonight.
Jordan Larsson gets Copenhagen off the mark with a sweet first-time finish after great work down the left-hand side.
GOAL! Copenhagen 1-0 Bayer Leverkusen!

CHANCE!
Brugge really should have been ahead there but Tzolis's close range effort went wide when he had to hit the target.
We have our first shot of the evening but it's a speculative drive from Copenhagen that goes miles over the bar.
Not too much of note happening in these two matches so far. Copenhagen are probing but Leverkusen have started with 11 men behind the ball when the Danish side are in possession.
The atmosphere at both grounds sounds fantastic. I reckon we're in for a treat with this last set of early matches.
And we're off!
All four teams are in their respective tunnels. Kick off is just a few minutes away.
Lucas Vazquez is starting for Leverkusen at Parken tonight ...
