Copenhaga 1 - 0 Unitor (380781901)

43639 spectators arrived at Parkenstadion, where weather conditions were pretty good for football. Thomas Bourguignon was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Shuai Hua and Mihai Zamşa. Copenhaga started off with a 3-4-3 lineup. The following players had been chosen: Bâlă - Lupea, Pavel, Sandu - Dumitrică, Grigore, Jugănaru, Pileri - Wenerski, Magni, Shapira.

A 4-5-1 alignment was the formation of choice for Unitor. Starters: Campaner - Collins, Gezgin, Sandu, Morăraş - Dobra, Meireles, Cilauro, Okiljević, Williams - Boross.

The strategy for Unitor was to use their ability to press. Many thought K. Wenerski ought to have been awarded a penalty 14 minutes into the game, as he went down trying to dribble around A. Campaner after a determined run through the middle. Unitor's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Copenhaga enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 54 percent of possession.

The pressing tactics used by Unitor were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. J. Yagüe Amengual was called on to replace Copenhaga's V. Jugănaru after 61 minutes following a nasty collision. Making his way up the middle 64 minutes into the match, E. Magni almost managed to squeeze a goal past the visitors' keeper, but the alert A. Campaner blocked it to keep the score level. There was concern in the stands when, at the 71 minute mark, Copenhaga's P. Dumitrică hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. A. Shapira caused the crowd to go mental with his goal up the middle after 73 minutes. This gave Copenhaga the 1 - 0 lead. F. Meireles of Unitor received a yellow card after 77 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Copenhaga claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 56 percent.

K. Wenerski performed admirably for Copenhaga. G. Sandu was a disappointment, however. Most important Unitor player was F. Meireles. However, A. Cilauro made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 0.
