Young Boys 1 Valencia 1: Hoarau penalty denies Marcelino's men

Young Boys earned their first point in the Champions League and dented Valencia's qualification hopes thanks to Guillaume Hoarau's penalty.

Guillaume Hoarau scored Young Boys' first Champions League goal as the Swiss side came from behind to deny Valencia in a 1-1 draw at Stade de Suisse.

Both teams came into the game without a goal to their name in Group H, but Michy Batshuayi's second of the season gave Valencia a first-half lead.

Veteran striker Hoarau struck from the spot 10 minutes into the second half, and Champions League debutants Young Boys looked like the more likely side to grab a winner.
