Defending champions Man City were expected to have an easy match against the Danish side and the match at the Etihad Stadium proved that. Although coach Pep Guardiola made some changes in personnel, that did not affect the home team's strength because of the huge advantage they had in the first leg.
Five minutes into the game, Copenhagen's net shook after the first attack from Man City. Julian Alvarez took a corner kick from the right wing and centre-back Manuel Akanji joined the attack, easily eliminating Copenhagen's Peter Ankersen and turning to shoot past goalkeeper Kamil Grabara.
Four minutes later, the score was 2-0 for the home team. This time, the scorer was Julian Alvarez. Rodri received a corner kick and fired a shot that hit the Copenhagen crossbar, the ball bounced back and Julian Alvarez fired a powerful shot that the Copenhagen goalkeeper failed to catch and the ball bounced into the net, much to the amazement of the away team and the 3,000 Danish fans who had accompanied Copenhagen to the Etihad Stadium.
The visitors unexpectedly scored a goal to reduce the gap in the 29th minute thanks to Elyounoussi after a well-organized attack by the visitors. However, this was all the visitors could do on the defending champions' home field.
The match seemed to be decided in the first half, when Man City restored the two-goal lead with a goal in the 45+3 minute from Erling Haaland. This was Haaland's 29th goal since the beginning of the season and his 6th goal in the Champions League this season.
In the second half, Man City continued to dominate the game, but no more goals were scored and Man City won a ticket to the Champions League quarter-finals with a total score of 6-2 over Copenhagen, continuing their journey to defend this season's championship title.
In another match, Real Madrid also had a 2-1 victory over RB Leipzig and a ticket to the quarter-finals. A day earlier, two other tickets to the quarter-finals were also determined, namely Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain./.
