An own goal from Jens Stryger Larsen was enough to hand FC Copenhagen a narrow 1-0 lead in the first leg of their DBU Cup semi-final with FC Nordsjælland.

The right-back flicked on Pierre Bengtsson's in-swinging free-kick over goalkeeper Martin Hansen and into the net on 26 minutes.

Thomas Delaney and Christian Bolaños had previously seen early chances fly wide before Andreas Cornelius tested Hansen with a low drive.

Morten Nordstrand went closest for FCN with an off-target overhead kick in the second half.

The two sides will reconvene in Farum on Tuesday 10 April for the second leg.
