For Illustration Purpose Only

Jordan Larsson once again proved his reputation as a match-changing supersub in FC Copenhagen’s clash with Napoli. Introduced in the second half, Larsson brought energy, creativity, and clinical finishing that shifted the momentum in favor of the Danish side.

Off the Bench, On the Attack

Larsson entered around the 65th minute, immediately adding pace to Copenhagen’s attacking setup. His movement between Napoli’s defensive lines created space for his teammates, while his pressing off the ball disrupted Napoli’s build-up from the back.

Key Contributions

> First Touch Impact: Larsson’s ability to find pockets of space in the final third allowed Copenhagen to stretch Napoli’s backline and exploit gaps.

> Assist & Link-up: He combined brilliantly with the wingers and midfielders, often drifting wide to pull defenders out of position.

> Clinical Finishing: Larsson’s goal came from a well-timed run into the box, finishing cleanly after a cut-back from the flank — a textbook supersub moment.

> Work Rate: Defensively, he tracked back to help Copenhagen recover possession, showing energy and commitment beyond his offensive duties.

Tactical Influence

Larsson’s introduction allowed Copenhagen to switch to a more fluid attacking shape, often resembling a 4-2-3-1 in possession. His intelligent positioning opened channels for through balls and overlaps, which Napoli struggled to defend. His threat off the bench forced the Italian side to commit extra men to defense, creating opportunities elsewhere.

Verdict

Jordan Larsson’s performance was decisive: he changed the rhythm of the game, provided a goal, and helped Copenhagen secure a significant advantage against a strong Napoli side. Once again, he demonstrated why he is one of the most dangerous supersubs in European football.
