Outstanding performance
FC København•MidfielderFC København wrapped up this Europa Conference League qualifying tie in emphatic fashion, turning what had been a 1-0 first-leg lead into a 5-1 aggregate rout with a commanding 4-1 home performance. The Danes were largely in control throughout, registering 21 shots to Inter Turku's five and dominating the dangerous attack count 61-35, though it was the timing of their goals that truly killed the tie as a contest. Gabriel Pereira's header from a corner in the 41st minute opened the scoring just before the break, and Mads Emil Madsen made it 2-0 barely four minutes into the second half with an assist from Andreas Cornelius — a double blow that extinguished any faint hope of a Finnish fightback. Jasse Tuominen's penalty in the 69th minute gave Inter Turku a brief moment of resistance, but William Clem restored the two-goal cushion nine minutes later and Prosper Ahiabu's unfortunate 90th-minute own goal put a definitive gloss on the scoreline, capping a tie that København controlled from first leg to last.
