However, despite the eventual outcome, the Reds did well hold FC København to just one goal for over an hour.

Hjalte Norregaard opened the scoring on 25 minutes when he got on the end of a Libor Sionko cross to tap the ball past John Connolly at the back post.

Number two arrived on 67 minutes after Morten Nordstrand released Jose Junior to unleash a terrific drive into the roof of the net.

And, ten minutes later, Zdenek Pospech made it 3-0 with a low shot inside the post from well outside the area while, with eight minutes remaining, Junior grabbed his second an impressive 15-yard volley.
