CSKA Moscow 1-1 Manchester United, Manchester City 2-1 Sevilla: Uefa Champions League 2015-16 - As it happened
Group A: Malmo 1-0 Shakhtar Donetsk, Paris Saint-Germain 0-0 Real Madrid
Group B: CSKA Moscow 1-1 Manchester United, Wolfsburg 2-0 PSV Eindhoven
Group C: Atletico Madrid 4-0 FC Astana, Galatasaray 2-1 Benfica
Group D: Manchester City 2-1 Sevilla, Juventus 0-0 Borussia Monchengladbach
So another late goal rescues City from further disappointment in Europe. That De Bruyne strike could be very important indeed in Group D, with the Premier League leaders now just a point behind Juventus following their disappointing goalless draw against Borussia Monchengladbach and three clear of Sevilla.
As for United, they were notably underpar but will be relieved to leave Moscow with a point after Martial atoned for his handball error by scoring with a stooping header. Wolfsburg now top Group B courtesy of a comfortable win over PSV Eindhoven, leaving United second and level on points with tonight's opponents.
No goals at all in the heavyweight clash between PSG and Real Madrid in Paris, but both sides look certain to qualify for the last 16. Benfica and Atletico are now level at the summit of Group C, but Galatasaray lurk menacingly.
That is all from IBTimes UK for now. Thanks for following and goodnight.
No winning goal for United as they are held to a draw, but for the second Champions League matchday in succession rivals City have rallied late to defy an otherwise unconvincing performance and secure all three points.
While Aguero was the hero in Monchengladbach, this time record-signing De Bruyne comes up trumps as the £55m midfielder rifles a low shot past the despairing dive of Rico.
A rare chance for United to pull level goes begging as Rooney, who was ahead of only De Gea in terms of touches in that opening half, heads Herrera's cross straight into the arms of Igor Akinfeev. That was only their second attempt on target tonight.
Marcos Rojo was lucky not to give away a second penalty for handball minutes earlier.
At the Etihad, Konoplyanka exposes City vulnerable right-hand side once again and crosses for Gameiro but the French international heads wide.
With United toiling in search of an equaliser, elsewhere in Group B Wolfsburg have taken the lead against PSV. Naldo's deep cross is headed back across goal and Josh Guilavogui takes a touch with his knee before seeing a shot saved by Jeroen Zoet. Dost reacts quickest and is presented with the easiest of tap-ins.
Astana's chances of pulling off a shock at the Vicente Calderon appear to be over, with Martinez doubling Atletico's lead via a deflected left-footed shot that looked weak but still found its way past Nenad Eric.
Ex-Arsenal striker Podolski has given Galatasaray the lead for the first time tonight with a lovely improvised finish with the outside of the boot following a great assist from Aurélien Chedjou.
Malmo are also in front against Shakhtar Donetsk as Pa Konate beats two players with a mazy run down the left before teeing up skipper Rosenberg to sidefoot emphatically past Andriy Pyatov.
CSKA have also been forced into a first-half substitution, with Aleksei Berezutski replacing his twin brother Vasili.
A flurry of goals as we head towards half-time, including in Manchester where City were not behind for long. Yaya Toure does well to beat his man and get to the byline, but Rico just about saves Sterling's subsequent shot.
With the danger not cleared, Bony pressures Rami into putting through his own net from close range.
City do eventually fall behind as the hugely impressive Konoplyanka is left all alone to sweep home from all of 10 yards at the back post. Good play from Vitolo, who burst into the penalty area and committed the attentions of Eliaquim Mangala before squaring the ball back perfectly.
Joe Hart is understandably unhappy with the presence of Kévin Gameiro, who was certainly in an offside position just in front of the goalkeeper but was evidently not deemed to have interfered with play.
Not long after former Manchester United winger Zoran Tosic fires a dangerous low ball across the face of goal, Van Gaal's side find themselves a goal behind after Anthony Martial inexplicably blocks a Mario Fernandes cross with his hand.
Referee Carlos Velasco Carballo is in no doubt and produces a yellow card and points to the spot, but David de Gea is alert to push Roman Eremenko's effort onto the post. Unfortunately for him, however, the prolific Doumbia is on hand to smash home the rebound.
City are just beginning to turn the screw now as former Sevilla winger Jesus Navas looks to punish his old side with a well-struck effort from distance that goes narrowly over the crossbar. Wilfried Bony, who netted a brace in the demolition of City that was overlooked due to Raheem Sterling's hat-trick, also fires a shot that is saved by visiting goalkeeper Sergio Rico.
