Ricardo Pepi's dramatic 93rd-minute goal secured a draw for PSV against Olympiacos in the Champions League. Earlier, PSV had a goal disallowed due to an offside call on Ismael Saibari. Olympiacos took the lead shortly after, with Gelson Martins scoring from a Chiquinho pass. Despite several missed opportunities, Pepi's late equaliser ensured PSV left with a point.

Monaco managed a narrow 1-0 win over Bodo/Glimt at Aspmyra Stadion. Folarin Balogun scored the decisive goal just before half-time, capitalising on Maghnes Akliouche's assist. Bodo/Glimt came close to equalising but were thwarted by the woodwork and later reduced to ten men when Jostein Gundersen received a red card for a reckless tackle.

In the current Champions League standings, PSV holds the 17th position, while Monaco is right behind them in 18th place. Olympiacos and Bodo/Glimt are yet to secure a win, sitting in 31st and 27th positions respectively.

Gelson Martins almost doubled his tally after the break but was denied by the crossbar. Paul Wanner also missed a significant chance for PSV, sending his shot wide. Olympiacos continued pressing for another goal as Martins shot wide again before Pepi's last-minute heroics.

Pepi's knack for late goals continues to shine in the Champions League. His recent strike ties him with Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Aguero for scoring three result-changing goals in second-half stoppage time in the competition’s history. Meanwhile, Martins' goal marked only his second in the Champions League since 2017.

Bodo/Glimt responded quickly after Monaco's opener, with Kasper Hogh hitting the post just before half-time. Despite creating better chances in the second half, they couldn't find an equaliser and faced further setbacks with Gundersen's dismissal following a VAR review.
