Dive into Bwin's post-match review of Qarabağ 2-0 FC København in the Champions League on Wednesday, 01 October 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.
Qarabağ secured a convincing 2-0 victory over FC København at home, extending their impressive run in the Champions League. The result was not entirely surprising given Qarabağ's recent form, which included a notable 3-2 win against Benfica away. FC København, on the other hand, struggled to find their footing after a 2-2 draw against Bayer 04 Leverkusen at home. This defeat marks a challenging period for FC København, who now face an uphill battle in the competition.
The match was defined by Qarabağ's clinical finishing, with goals in the 28th and 83rd minutes proving decisive. FC København failed to capitalise on their opportunities, a recurring theme from their recent performances. Qarabağ's ability to maintain their winning streak at home underscores their growing confidence and tactical discipline. No individual player particularly stood out, but the team's collective effort was commendable.
The statistics from the match reflect a closely contested game, with FC København holding a slight edge in possession at 51% compared to Qarabağ's 49%. Despite this, Qarabağ managed to convert their chances more effectively, as evidenced by their two goals and one assist. FC København's higher number of corners (7.0) did not translate into scoring opportunities, highlighting their inefficiency in the final third. The yellow card count was relatively low, with Qarabağ receiving two and FC København one, suggesting a disciplined approach from both sides.
The first key moment came in the 28th minute when Qarabağ scored their opening goal, setting the tone for the match. This early strike put FC København on the back foot and forced them to chase the game. The second goal in the 83rd minute sealed the victory for Qarabağ, showcasing their ability to maintain pressure and capitalise on late opportunities. These goals were pivotal, as they not only secured the win but also highlighted Qarabağ's superior finishing compared to their opponents.
Qarabağ lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Mateusz Kochalski in goal and a solid backline of Matheus Silva, Bahlul Mustafazada, Kevin Medina, and Elvin Cafarquliyev. The midfield was anchored by Pedro Bicalho and Kady Borges, with Oleksiy Kashchuk, Leandro Andrade, and Abdellah Zoubir providing creativity and support to striker Camilo Durán. The lineup showed no major surprises, and the team's performance was a testament to their well-drilled system. Substitutions were made strategically, with five changes throughout the match, indicating a proactive approach to maintaining control and freshness.
FC København opted for a 4-4-2 formation, with Dominik Kotarski between the posts and a defense consisting of Rodrigo Huescas, Gabriel Pereira, Pantelis Hatzidiakos, and Marcos López. The midfield was manned by Jordan Larsson, Lukas Lerager, Thomas Delaney, and Robert, with Youssoufa Moukoko and Mohamed Elyounoussi leading the attack. The lineup was as expected, but the team struggled to impose themselves on the game. Five substitutions were made, yet none significantly altered the course of the match, suggesting a lack of impactful options from the bench.
Abdellah Zoubir earned Bwin's Man of the Match award for his crucial contribution to Qarabağ's victory. Scoring the opening goal in the 28th minute, Zoubir's impact was immediate and decisive. Despite not registering any assists, big chances created, or key passes, his goal was enough to sway the game in Qarabağ's favor, highlighting his importance to the team's success.
