FC Copenhagen continued their dominant run in the Danish Superliga with a commanding 2-0 victory over Vejle at Parken Stadium. With two early goals, the reigning champions showcased their class and tactical maturity, maintaining a flawless start to the season while keeping one eye on their upcoming European campaign.
Lightning Start Puts Copenhagen in Control
From the opening whistle, the hosts wasted no time asserting their dominance. Though Vejle came close to an early shock lead—capitalizing on a defensive error by Rodrigo Huescas—Mikkel Duelund’s miscued finish spared Copenhagen’s blushes. That miss would prove costly.
Just moments later, FC Copenhagen turned defense into offense. A strong challenge by Thomas Delaney sent the ball into the path of Lukas Lerager, who unleashed a thunderous strike from the edge of the box, finding the top corner to make it 1-0 in the 6th minute.
VAR Drama and Larsson’s Moment of Magic
Shortly after taking the lead, the capital club thought they had earned a penalty, but the decision was overturned following a VAR review. Still, Copenhagen’s pressure didn’t let up.
In the 25th minute, Jordan Larsson added to the tally with a sublime individual effort. Given too much space inside the box, the Swedish forward curled a perfectly placed shot into the far corner, leaving Vejle keeper Igor Vekic with no chance.
Vejle’s Possession Yields No Reward
Despite going down early, Vejle showed resilience and maintained decent possession throughout the match. Their passing sequences and attacking intent were evident, but a lack of clinical edge in the final third meant they never truly threatened to mount a comeback.
FC Copenhagen, meanwhile, opted for a more conservative approach in the second half. With a crucial Champions League qualifier looming against Kosovo’s Drita—where they hold a 2-0 advantage—the home side managed the game efficiently, conserving energy while denying Vejle any real openings.
Champions Keep Rolling
With this win, FC Copenhagen maintain a 100% record to start the domestic season, displaying both quality and squad depth. Their blend of early aggression and game management points to a team well-prepared to balance domestic and European commitments.
