FC Copenhagen lost 2-1 to Randers in the Danish Superliga, with Randers scoring the winning goal in the 12th minute of stoppage time. The result means FC Copenhagen finished seventh in the league's regular season, missing the top six and the championship series for the first time in the club's history. This is reportedly their worst league finish since the 1999/2000 season when they placed eighth.
FC Copenhagen's coach Jacob Neestrup said it was a black and embarrassing day, and that the team deserved to play in the relegation series due to being extremely weak and semi-arrogant for a long period. The loss was met with boos and whistles from fans, who displayed banners criticizing the club. According to reports, experts called it the biggest failure in the history of the Danish Superliga and a scandal.

Despite the relegation, FC Copenhagen could still qualify for European competition by winning the domestic cup or by finishing as the best team in the relegation series, which would give them a playoff match for a Conference League spot.
