Analysis The numbers behind the result
Copenhagen defy 70% Polessya possession with clinical finishing
Copenhagen's 2-1 victory was a triumph of efficiency over dominance, with the hosts scoring twice from just two shots on target despite holding only 30% possession. Polessya's 70% ball control and 23 total shots (3 on target) underscored their territorial advantage, but Copenhagen's penalty conversion by Elyounoussi (27') and Robert's 61st-minute strike proved decisive. The visitors' late consolation through Gayduchyk (90+3') came too late to alter the outcome.
Tactically, Polessya's 14 corners and 17 shots from outside the box highlighted their persistent but often speculative approach, while Copenhagen's 4 shots inside the box from 5 total attempts demonstrated sharper penetration. The hosts' red card for Suzuki (46') forced defensive adjustments, yet they restricted Polessya to just 3 on-target efforts despite the numerical disadvantage. Robert's goal, assisted by Madsen, was the key moment - converting one of Copenhagen's only two big chances.
The defining stat was shot conversion: Copenhagen scored from both shots on target, while Polessya required 23 attempts to muster a single goal.
