Austrian duo left empty-handed in Copenhagen derby

No joy for Patrick Pentz and Christopher Olivier in the Copenhagen derby: FC Copenhagen claim a 1-0 win over Bröndby IF on matchday 14 of the Danish Superliga.

William Clem scores the decisive goal shortly after the break (54').

With Patrick Pentz in goal and Christopher Olivier on the pitch, two Austrians feature in Bröndby's starting XI. Pentz has his hands full: in the first half, he makes a brilliant save to deny Mohamed Elyounoussi. Despite 52 percent possession for the home side, the teams go into the break goalless.

After the restart, Pentz is helpless against Clem's strike. Olivier is substituted shortly after (74'). Eleven shots to one is the sobering statistic for the Austrian duo, who come away empty-handed despite a hard-fought battle.

After 14 matches, Bröndby sit fourth in the table with 22 points, while Copenhagen lead the league with 32 points.
