The atmosphere before kick-off of the match Baník Ostrava – FC Copenhagen. | Video: David Hekele
A hundred minutes had passed, the whole stadium could see the waving net, people were cheering, Gigi D’Agostino was celebratory from the speakers and “GOAL” was flashing on the screens. But… striker Abdullahi Tanko, who ran alone to the goal, as well as the players on the pitch, knew that it was only an outside party.
It kind of characterized the whole double match played by Slezan, who had more chances in both battles, and in Ostrava they were much better in the game. As in the penalties, where four shooters failed, and the Danes’ unsportsmanlike behavior before Ewerton’s kick will be talked about for a long time to come.

Fourteen and a half thousand fans, of which the lower hundreds were guests from Denmark, saw interesting football. Unlike the duel in the north of Europe, however, Baník had more of the ball at his feet, who also created opportunities. However, Ewerton’s shot was blocked by the defenders, Buchta aimed high above the goal from close range and Prekop burned the best chance. The Slovakian striker from Juroška’s center only hit the legs of goalkeeper Trott.
However, Baník’s active performance did not end there. On the contrary, Slezana pressed even after the break, while Copenhagen shamefully tried to delay, its players rather lay down and often also fouled. She repeatedly kicked the ball as far away from her goal as possible. Nevertheless, Buchta and Prekop had good opportunities, but the defense blocked again. Just like Šín’s excellent scissors.
At the same time, Miner was honest defensively, Copenhagen had a hard time getting any hints of chances in the heat. And if he did, he hit Kpozo twice brilliantly.

Markovič stopped Baník twice in overtime, but he again had the best chance. Tanko charged at Trott, shot past him but only hit the side netting. The fact that half the stadium was celebrating didn’t change anything. However, the guests were better in penalties. Four Baník shooters failed as they completely missed the goal.
