FC Copenhagen gave captain Thomas Delaney a winning send-off at Parken with a 1-0 result over Randers on Saturday.

Delaney, who has been at the club since boyhood, will join Bundesliga side Werder Bremen in January.

The midfielder still has two more games to play for the Lions - in the Champions League in Brugge and then a final Alka Superliga game at AGF.

And the Telia Parken faithful showed their appreciation for the 25-year-old before, during and after the game.

Copenhagen ran out 1-0 victors thanks to Rasmus Falk’s lashed effort into the top corner 13 minutes in.

Andreas Cornelius gave manager Ståle Solbakken a fitness boost ahead of Wednesday’s game in Belgium after returning from injury earlier than expected to complete 66 minutes.

Federico Santander replaced Cornelius as he also pushes to build his fitness ahead of the final Champions League group game of the campaign.

Fellow striker Andrija Pavlovic twice missed the target in the first half, while Youssef Toutouh clipped a free-kick over the bar after the break.

At the other end Robin Olsen matched Marvin Pouries's fierce effort as Randers sought a leveller.

But it was FCK who really should have found the net again as both Pavlovic and Mathias Zanka squandered golden opportunities.

The win moves Copenhagen on to 50 points in the Alka Superliga and extends the unbeaten start to the domestic campaign to 20 games.

The Lions will travel to Brugge on Tuesday to prepare for their Champions League showdown knowing they must win and hope Leicester at least draw with Porto to guarantee FCK progression to the last-16.
