The main time of the meeting ended in a draw with the score 1:1. In the first minute of the match, Copenhagen striker Jordan Larsson, who previously played for Spartak, opened the scoring. “Sparta” could not respond until the 80th minute, thanks to a goal from Veljko Birmanchevich. Given the draw in the first encounter (0-0), the game went into extra time, where Sparta scored goals from Kyazim Lyachi and Viktor Olatundzhi, and former Krasnodar midfielder Viktor Klasson netted a double. The score became 3:3 and the teams were forced to decide the result in a penalty shootout. The Danish team proved to be more precise, winning 4-2 on penalties.
