Live ticker FC Copenhagen – Borussia Dortmund (Champions League 2022/2023, Group G)

21:17

There is still nothing to be seen from Dortmund on the offensive. The black and yellow have much more possession of the ball, but at the latest in the opposing half they don’t know much about what to do with it.

21:15

Copenhagen desperately wants the first Champions League goal of the season! This time Hákon Haraldsson gets a shot from inside the box. However, the attempt by the young Icelander is not placed enough and does not pose any problems for Gregor Kobel.

21:14

An FCK corner from the left sails high in front of the goal. Vavro comes up with a header, but nods the ball right into Kobel’s arms.

Kobel prevents the early residue! The Danes win the ball deep in their own half. After a few stations, they quickly combine to the front. Daramy pulls past Hummels on the left wing and brings the ball in high from the baseline. Bardagji heads the ball from a central position and aims for the right corner. Kobel reacts at lightning speed and defends with a strong parade to the side.

On the field, too, the Copenhageners showed from the start that they didn’t want to end the group stage without a win or a goal. The Danes are situationally up front, act venomously in duels and lie in wait for switching situations.

The first corner goes to the guests. Hazard circles the ball inwards from the left flag. Grabara breaks away from the line and safely intercepts the cross.

21:04

For the referee, Äliyar Ağayev, it is the first appearance in the Champions League. The Azerbaijani will be supported on the sidelines by Zeynal Zeynalov and Akif Ämirälı.

Here we go! Copenhagen toast and play all in white. Everyone who thought that today was about nothing was taught better before kick-off. The FCK supporters accompanied both teams on their way to the stadium with an impressive choreo. The atmosphere is absolutely appropriate for the premier class!

20:52

The direct comparison speaks clearly for Dortmund. BVB won all three matches. In the first leg they won 3-0 with goals from Reus, Guerreiro and Bellingham. Nevertheless, Copenhagen should not be underestimated. After all, the lions collected their two points in their home games against Sevilla and Man City.

20:44

The four changes made by Edin Terzić after the 2-1 win against Eintracht are a premiere at BVB. Felix Passlack is in the starting eleven for the first time this season and replaces Niklas Süle at right-back. In addition, frequent player Jude Bellingham gets a well-deserved break. After all, apart from the cup duel in Hanover, the Englishman played the full distance in every game. Emre Can starts for him in central midfield. On the offensive, Gio Reyna and Anthony Modeste are new for Julian Brandt and Youssoufa Moukoko.

20:35

Jacob Neestrup has made three changes since beating Randers FC 2-0. Kevin Diks, Christian Sørensen and William Clem start for Elias Jelert, Victor Kristiansen and Marko Stamenić, all three of whom take a seat on the bench.

20:24

Dortmund are in really good shape at the moment. The black and yellow went unbeaten in four competitive games in a row and were even able to win three of them. Most recently, they clinched an impressive 0-0 draw against Manchester City and a hugely important 2-1 win in Frankfurt. Of course, Borussia now want to continue the current series and at the same time save energy for the end-of-year spurt in the Bundesliga.

20:17

Copenhagen is lagging behind in the domestic league and only occupies sixth place. In the Champions League it was already clear in advance that the chances against the well-known group opponents were not particularly good. Nevertheless, the reigning Danish champions had certainly hoped for more. After five games they have two points and a goal difference of 0:11. This makes FCK the only team that is still completely without a goal of its own. Of course, that should change today in order to be able to at least celebrate a conciliatory CL farewell.

20:09

Even before the kick-off, all ranks in Group G are clearly distributed. The difference between the individual places is only three points, but due to the direct comparisons, the final positions are already certain. Manchester City and BVB advance to the round of 16. Sevilla is in the Europa League. Copenhagen is at the bottom and for the Danes the season on the international stage ends tonight.

19:57

Have a wonderful good evening and welcome to the Champions League on Wednesday. FC Copenhagen has Borussia Dortmund as a guest. The Group G game kicks off at 9pm at Telia Parken.
