Champions League: The Norwegian mixed game gave FC Copenhagen a great starting point

(Raków Częstochowa – FC København 0–1) National team players Berger Melling and Mohamed Elyounoussi were behind the goal which ensured FC Copenhavn’s qualification to the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.

This summer, the big Danish club signed the Norwegians Melling and El Yunussi.

And both were the main reason behind the strong victory away to Polish side Rakov Czestochowa on Tuesday.

These were the first two qualifying matches for the UEFA Champions League.

Eight minutes had passed when left-back Mealing teamed up well with the other players in white before sending the ball to Mooy on his way into the penalty area with a one-touch finish.

And the left wing effort went in through defender Bogdan Rakovitan. The ball drastically changed its trajectory, which sent the goalkeeper out of action.

He couldn’t do much with the ball at the near post and then the Copenhagen players could cheer for the only score of the game.
