Automatically translated from Polish · AI-generated from GolVolt data

  1. Minute 89 3–0

    Cornelius scores again, FC København 3–0 Sporting Braga

    Andreas Cornelius adds another in the 86th minute, set up by Thapelo Maseko. It is his second goal of the match. FC København have already scored 7 of their 17 goals this season after the 75th minute.

    Number of the match: 7 of 17 — That is how many of FC København's goals this season have come after the 75th minute, so late goals are their trademark.

  2. Minute 66 1–0

    Horta scores, København v Braga level again

    Ricardo Horta equalised for Sporting Braga in the 63rd minute, with Gabriel Silva providing the assist. Earlier, in the 49th minute, Mohamed Elyounoussi had put FC København ahead. It's level again.

    Number of the match: 63 — In that minute Horta answered Elyounoussi's goal and restored parity.

  3. Minute 52 1–0

    Elyounoussi scores, FC København 1–0 Sporting Braga

    Mohamed Elyounoussi opens the scoring in the 49th minute and FC København take the lead. It is the first goal of the match, and Elyounoussi's fourth in the league this season.

    Number of the match: 4 — That is how many league goals Mohamed Elyounoussi now has this season.

Live · half-time · 0–0

0–0 at the break, and København like a late goal

No goals at half-time. But FC København have a clear profile this season: 7 of their 17 goals came after the 75th minute. The tension is only building.

Automatically translated from Polish · AI-generated from GolVolt data

Number of the match 7 of 17 That is how many goals FC København have scored after the 75th minute this season, a very large share of the team's goal tally.

What the match has said so far. Sporting Braga had the ball: 63% possession to the hosts' 37%. Shots were few, though: 3 for FC København, 2 for Braga. Only one was on target, from the visitors. The hosts have 3 corners to their opponents' 1.

What the season says. FC København have scored in 7 games in a row, so the run is waiting to be extended. Braga have a different profile: only 2 of their 8 goals came after the 75th minute. The hosts have conceded 2 of their 6 goals after that minute. Late on, attack is their speciality this season.

Before the match

FC København and Sporting Braga play first official match in their history

FC København host Sporting Braga in Matchday 1 of the Conference League. It is the first official meeting between the two clubs, and Braga arrive without two injured players: Bright Arrey-Mbi and Sikou Niakaté.

First meeting in history

FC København and Sporting Braga have never played each other in an official match. It is the first meeting between the two clubs, so there are no previous results to refer to. Both teams start with Matchday 1 of the Conference League. FC København are the hosts, and the match will take place at Parken. With no shared history, the talk about both sides is mostly about their recent performances.

The Danes won at Parken

In European competition this season FC København have won four of six matches. That included all three qualifying matches played at Parken. The hosts therefore have a perfect record of wins in qualifying at their own stadium. Now they return to the same ground, this time in Matchday 1 of the Conference League. These are figures for European matches and cover the whole season in the competition so far.

Braga without a goal conceded

The visitors reached the league phase through three qualifying rounds. In none of the six matches in those rounds did Sporting Braga concede a goal. That record took them into the league phase. FC København therefore face a team whose defence was not breached once in qualifying.

Wind against his former club

Braga's squad includes Jonas Wind, a former FC København player. So far he has one goal in Braga colours. For him this is a meeting with the club he played for before. It is one of the threads linking the two sides, even though the clubs themselves have never played each other in an official match.

Braga without two players

Among those absent for Sporting Braga are Bright Arrey-Mbi and Sikou Niakaté, both through injury. In Braga's last league match only Sikou Niakaté was on the injury list. Braga lost 1–3 to Sporting CP. The hosts in that match led after the first half, but Sporting turned it around and won at their stadium.

Gaps in the hosts' squad

Things are not entirely clear at FC København either. Magnus Mattsson is still out. Mads Emil Madsen missed the last match through illness. Both teams therefore go into their first meeting with squad question marks. For the hosts it is a match at Parken, where they won all three qualifying matches, and for the visitors it is a first appearance in the league phase after six matches without a goal conceded.
