Rosenborg's UEFA cup campaign came to an end at a freezing Parken Stadium, as Mikael Antonsson's late strike kept Copenhagen in the competition. This was an entertaining match, with both sides playing some attractive football and trying their utmost to secure all three points. The home side started with the same defenece that had conceded three times at Aalborg last time out, as Larsson again missed out through injury. Sionko returned on the right wing, meaning Kvist moved back into the centre of midfield to partner Kristensen, with Norregaard dropping down to the bench. Gronkjaer once again missed out on the opposite flank, so Hutchinson continued out wide, while Nordstrand came in to replace the injured Ailton up front. Rosenborg manager Hamren went with a more conventional 4-4-2 for this game, with Demidov moving into the centre of midfield alongside Skjelbred. Tettey was pushed on to the right flank, while Strand kept his place on the other side. In defence, Nordvik was drafted in to partner Lago in the centre, while Konan Ya once again ket his place alongside Iversen in the striking department.

The game started at a frantic pace, with both teams going close early on. Antonsson very nearly put the hosts ahead within the opening ten minutes, when he brought a great save out of Jarstein, following a Sionko corner that was whipped in at pace. Tettey then wasted a good opportunity for the Trondheim side, when he dragged a shot wide from inside the area, after being set up by Iversen. However, just minutes later, the visitors were in front, courtesy of a Steffen Iversen strike. Strand beat his man on the left before rolling the ball into the path of the Norwegian international, who fired a low shot past the keeper from the edge of the area. The Danish side then stepped up a gear in the second half as they went in search of an equaliser. Santin came close with a shot that was superbly blocked by Swedish defender Dorsin, while Nordstrand and Kvist both fired in shots that flew just wide of the right hand post. However, they finally got the goal their second half display merited, when they drew level five minutes from time. Wendt drifted in a corner from the left and centre back Antonsson was on hand to crash the ball home from inside the six yard box. The drama was not quite over yet, as Rosenborg substitute Pelu nearly grabbed all three points for the visitors in the last minute, but his shot was wide of target and the game ended in a draw.

A crucial point for FC Copenhagen, which means that they will qualify for the knockout stages if they can beat Club Brugge in their final game. They started the match slowly, but were by far the better team in the second period and more than deserved a share of the spoils. For Rosenborg, the season is finally over. It is always difficult for teams who play summer football to perform in Europe after the season has finished, but the Norwegian side put in a decent performance here and were far from outclassed. However, a lack of match fitness showed in the final twenty minutes, as they allowed their hosts back into the game and ultimately conceded the vital equaliser.
