Delaney credits second half Copenhagen display

The Danish outfit succumbed to a 2-0 defeat at the Parken Stadium on Tuesday, meaning they can no longer reach the Europa League via a third place finish in Group B.

Real took the lead in the first half with a superb curling effort from Luka Modric to spark life into a lacklustre opening.

“In the first half we felt that we were up against a much stronger opposition,” he said.

“However, I think we managed to improve in the second half, where we were better at closing them down, and all we missed really was a goal.”
