PARKEN, COPENHAGEN—It was a goalless draw that probably suited both sides. Leicester City are just a point away from reaching the last 16 of the Champions League. If they beat Club Brugge at home in three weeks, they will guarantee going through as group winners, with all the benefits that entails in terms of seeding. FC Copenhagen, meanwhile, remain two points behind Porto in second and, with Porto at home and Brugge away to come, still have a reasonable chance of overhauling them to take second spot.
Nobody would say that the point was pre-arranged, and it took an excellent late save from Kasper Schmeichel to keep it at 0-0, but equally nobody was particularly surprised by that outcome.
