Inter Turku vs FC København

Inter Turku and FC Copenhagen played out a goalless draw at Veritas Stadion in the first leg of their Conference League play-off tie, with both defenses standing firm despite late pressure from each side. There were no goals, no red cards and no penalties. Copenhagen had the better of the second-half territory, working several corners without testing the home goalkeeper, while Turku held firm and picked their moments to break. Both managers turned to the bench late, with three substitutions apiece between the 70th and 86th minutes, but the deadlock held to the final whistle. The stalemate leaves the tie finely balanced. Inter Turku, who edged past Vaduz 4-3 on aggregate to reach this stage, remain in the hunt for a first-ever appearance in the league phase of a European competition. Copenhagen, arriving on a hot run, will have to finish the job on home soil, with the second leg now shaping up as a decider.
