A resolute defensive display helped FC København frustrate VfB Stuttgart and earn a valuable away point in UEFA Europa League Group E.

Having taken just one point from their first two outings, Stuttgart were under pressure to make the most of home advantage and they duly showed the more attacking intent. København, however, came into the match having lost only one of their last nine games in all competitions – at FC Steaua Bucureşti on matchday two – and showed plenty of resilience to extend that sequence to one in ten as they stayed second in the standings.
