Overview

  • He came on around the hour and converted an 84th‑minute penalty to secure a 2-0 playoff win over Basel.
  • He won the spot kick himself with a pass to Viktor Claesson before Adrian Barisic’s foul in the box.
  • Andreas Cornelius opened the scoring just after halftime, with the 1-1 first leg making the home win decisive.
  • Sold by Borussia Dortmund this summer for about €5 million after a lean loan at Nice, he has featured as an impact substitute in qualifying.
  • He ended a nine-month drought with his first Copenhagen goal about a week and a half earlier, and DFB coach Antonio Di Salvo is set to name the U21 squad on Friday.
