Borussia Dortmund secured a convincing 4-2 victory over FC København in their latest Champions League encounter. The result was not entirely surprising given Dortmund's recent form, having won their previous match 4-1 against Athletic Club. FC København, on the other hand, were coming off a 0-2 loss to Qarabağ, and their struggles continued at home. Felix Nmecha was the standout performer for Dortmund, scoring twice and helping his team extend their winning run.

Despite the final scoreline, FC København showed resilience, managing to score twice, including a late goal in the 90th minute. However, Dortmund's dominance was evident throughout the match, with goals spread across the game, including a crucial penalty in the 61st minute. This result further highlights Dortmund's strong position in the competition, while FC København will need to regroup after back-to-back losses.

The statistics from the match largely reflect Borussia Dortmund's dominance, with 64% possession compared to FC København's 36%. Dortmund also had more corners, with seven to København's four, indicating their control over the game. Interestingly, FC København had a higher successful dribbles percentage at 78%, compared to Dortmund's 31%, suggesting they were more effective in individual duels despite the overall result.

Borussia Dortmund took the lead early in the game with a goal in the 20th minute, setting the tone for their performance. They extended their lead with a penalty in the 61st minute and added two more goals in the 76th and 87th minutes, showcasing their clinical finishing. These moments were crucial in securing their victory and maintaining pressure on FC København throughout the match.

FC København managed to pull one back with an own goal in the 33rd minute, giving them a glimmer of hope. They further reduced the deficit with a goal in the 90th minute, but it was too little too late. These late goals, while not enough to change the outcome, demonstrated København's determination to fight until the end.

FC København lined up in a 4-4-2 formation, with Dominik Kotarski in goal and a backline of Junnosuke Suzuki, Gabriel Pereira, Pantelis Hatzidiakos, and Birger Meling. The midfield was anchored by Jordan Larsson, Lukas Lerager, William Clem, and Elias Achouri, with Youssoufa Moukoko and Viktor Claesson leading the attack. The team made five substitutions during the match, indicating an attempt to change the game's dynamics, but it was not enough to overcome Dortmund's lead.

Borussia Dortmund opted for a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Gregor Kobel between the posts and a defensive trio of Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Ramy Bensebaini. The midfield was controlled by Yan Couto, Felix Nmecha, Jobe Bellingham, and Daniel Svensson, with Julian Brandt and Maximilian Beier supporting striker Serhou Guirassy. Felix Nmecha's performance was particularly notable, scoring twice and playing a key role in Dortmund's victory. The team also made five substitutions, maintaining their momentum throughout the match.
