When the players walked out onto the Estadio De La Cerámica, the classic Champions League anthem was not played. Instead, the organizer chose to let the Europa League melody flow from the speakers.
A mistake that was followed by boos from the audience.
And the dissatisfaction continued among the spectators.
Visiting FC Copenhagen took an early lead after Mohamed Elyounoussi's goal and immediately after the home team's lucky equalizer, Elias Achouri put the Danes 2–1 up.
Villarreal equalized through Tani Oluwaseyi, but the Spanish league third's tough season in the Champions League was instead continued. FCK's substitute Andreas Cornelius made it 3-2 in the 90th minute.
In FC Copenhagen, Swede Jordan Larsson played from the start and Viktor Claesson was substituted in the second half.
Ajax came from behind twice and finally won 4–2 away against Qarabag.
