I think it was a little strange that the host included Cornelius in the game despite these changes. We only found our first serious scoring opportunity with Kerem in the 73rd minute. Fortunately, at the same minute, news of Bayern’s goal came from Manchester and we were relieved. We were eliminated from the Giants Arena without getting ahead even once in six matches. Our story in 2000 ended with the UEFA cup in Copenhagen. The adventure started in Copenhagen this season, while Sevilla was not around… Why not?
ZEKİ UZUZURUKAN – WAIT FOR US, A REALISTIC GOAL
The first 45 minutes were played in Parken like a chess match. Copenhagen tried to be effective from Angelino’s wing in the first episode. Afterwards, Galatasaray established balance in the game. However, players from both teams did not go beyond the controlled game. Because it was a match where the winner got out of the group. For this reason, neither team had an accurate shot on target in 45 minutes.
Copenhagen plays frustrating football, exactly the kind of football Galatasaray would not want. This frustrating game also negatively affected Galatasaray’s football. Copenhagen started the second half quickly. We didn’t make any mistakes in defense for a long time (until the goal) in these minutes. The goal we conceded in the 58th minute came from Boey’s wing. Boey remained well ahead. Davidson Sanchez failed to qualify. Abdülkerim missed Lerager, who scored the goal, and we were defeated.
