Prince Amoako Junior spent 90 minutes making FC København's backline look ordinary. The Nordsjælland forward completed six dribbles from 11 attempts in a 2-0 away victory that never felt in doubt once he hit his stride.
København had no answer. Every time Amoako picked up the ball in the final third, defenders backed off or lunged in desperation. One mistimed challenge earned a foul; the rest of the time he simply glided past them, turning what should have been a tight Superliga contest into a showcase.
Numbers behind the nightmare
Six successful take-ons is the headline figure, but the manner mattered more. Amoako attempted 11 in total, a success rate that tells you he picked his moments and committed defenders when it counted. His 7.2 match rating reflected a complete performance beyond the dribbling: movement off the ball, link play, defensive pressure when Nordsjælland sat deep.
It was the kind of display that leaves opposition analysts scrambling. København will have watched the tape and seen a player they simply could not contain one-on-one, a problem with no easy fix when you face him again later in the campaign.
Nordsjælland climbed away from Parken with three points and a reminder that on certain nights, one player in full flow can dismantle the best-laid plans.
