Leverkusen twice came from behind to draw 2-2 with Copenhagen at Parken. Alex Grimaldo scored an 82nd-minute 25-yard free-kick to level the match.

He has three free-kick goals across two games, including a brace in the Bundesliga win over Eintracht Frankfurt. Praise followed for Grimaldo's free-kick ability, described as world-class and unbelievable. Leverkusen showed character while integrating new players and took the point while acknowledging substantial work ahead.
