El doblete de Meling asegura la victoria de Copenhague sobre Lyngby

FC København made a strong start at the Parken Stadium on a warm July evening, looking to build early momentum in the Danish Superliga season. The home crowd provided plenty of noise as the sides settled into the contest, with København controlling possession in the opening stages. Lyngby, however, showed they were not content to play second fiddle and gradually worked their way into the match as the first half progressed.

Bent Meling opened the scoring for København in the 27th minute, firing the hosts into the lead with a well-taken finish. Lyngby responded superbly just nine minutes later when Rasmus Tytens equalised to level the contest at 1-1. The away side then completed a remarkable turnaround moments later as Sander Colyn put them ahead at 2-1, leaving København shell-shocked. The hosts finished the half in frustration, with Morten López picking up a booking for his part in the heated exchanges just before the interval.

København emerged with renewed purpose after the break and Meling made an immediate impact, scoring his second goal of the afternoon in the 49th minute to restore parity at 2-2. The momentum had swung decisively in the hosts' favour, and they pressed forward in search of a winner. Ihsan Sævar Þorvaldsson was cautioned for Lyngby as the visitors struggled to cope with København's sustained pressure. The decisive moment came in the 75th minute when Mohamed Elyounoussi finished clinically to put København 3-2 ahead, a lead they would not surrender despite five minutes of added time.

FC København held firm in the closing stages to secure a 3-2 home victory, claiming three crucial points on opening weekend. Both teams had chances to extend or reduce the deficit in the final stages, but it was the hosts who showed greater composure when it mattered. The win sends a statement of intent from Jess Thorup's side as they bid to challenge for the title this season, while Lyngby will reflect on a battling away performance where they pushed the champions but ultimately came up short.
