Despite being the dominant side in the first half, FC Copenhagen struggled to create clear-cut scoring opportunities. Fredericia, meanwhile, could still harbor hopes of an upset at the break, given their decent defensive display.

FC Fredericia's chances of securing a point against the favorites received a boost when Gustav Marcussen was fouled in the Copenhagen box four minutes after the break, earning a penalty. Marcussen stepped up and confidently converted the spot kick, leveling the score.

However, Fredericia's momentum was short-lived, as Moses Opono fouled Mohamed Elyounoussi just six minutes later, giving Copenhagen another penalty opportunity. Youssoufa Moukoko scored from the spot, although Fredericia goalkeeper Mattias Lamhauge made a strong effort to save the shot.

Junnosuke Suzuki appeared to seal the win for Copenhagen with a clinical finish from the edge of the area, making it 3-1 in the 78th minute. However, Fredericia refused to give up, and their persistence paid off when Oscar Buch scored a crucial goal during a counter-attack, reducing the deficit.

The Parken Stadium was filled with nervous tension as Copenhagen struggled to hold on, but they ultimately secured the win despite the late scare.
