85'
Wesley tries his luck once again from distance. However, the result is the same with Olsen getting down to gather easily enough.
84'
Pavlovic connects with a long ball forward and gets a shot away that goes wide of the target. It would not have counted, though, as the offside flag had been raised.
83'
S. Denswil gets yellow.
Claudemir receives a yellow card against his old club.
81'
In Portugal, Porto are continuing to go from strength to strength against a helpless Leicester. It is now 5-0 to the 2004 Champions League winners.
79'
There is a break in play here as Butelle boots the ball out in order to receive some attention after taking a whack in the arm. He should be OK to carry on, though.
77'
R. Vormer enters the game and replaces R. van Rhijn.
A second change from Brugge sees Ruud Vormer come on for Van Rhijn.
75'
Brugge deal with the corner very well in all fairness and are able to clear the danger. Copenhagen have taken their feet off the gas somewhat, though.
Minute
Description
73'
Some good chasing from Cornelius down the left wing forces Brugge into conceding a corner. A third goal here would certainly put the game to bed...
71'
The visitors are set to extend their unbeaten run against Brugge in this stadium to four matches, providing that the hosts do not produce an inspired comeback in the latter stages here.
68'
We are into the final quarter of the match here at the Jan Breydelstadion. Copenhagen are still two goals to the good and they should collect three points here.
66'
H. Vanaken enters the game and replaces L. Refaelov.
Refaelov makes way for Brugge and is replaced by Hans Vanaken.
65'
Copenhagen's hopes of reaching the knockout stages of this competition are all but over. Porto have just extended their lead to 4-0 over Leicester and it looks like the Danes will have to settle for the Europa League.
63'
Wesley is involved again as he tries his luck from the edge of the penalty area. However, there is no power in his effort and Olsen easily gathers.
60'
Brugge are desperately trying to find a consolation. They send the ball forward towards Wesley on the edge of the area, but he just started his run too early and is flagged offside.
58'
J. Greguš enters the game and replaces R. Falk.
In fact, Falk is unable to continue and he goes off to be replaced by Ján Greguš.
57'
There is a break in play as Falk stays down after landing awkwardly following an aerial challenge with Bolingoli. He is receiving attention from the medical team.
55'
The home side almost turn a neat spell of play into a goal as they gradually make their wauy downfield. However, the eventual cross into the box is held by the goalkeeper.
53'
Brugge are trying to gain a foothold in the contest as they enjoy a spell of possession near the halfway line. The hosts are just trying to establish some rhythm and flow.
51'
ALMOST! A lovely move from the visitors results in a diagonal ball being knocked back across the face of goal for Pavlovic, but a vital Brugge touch carries it beyond the striker and out for a throw-in.
48'
It is no real surprise that Copenhagen have settled into their rhythm the quicker of the two teams at the start of this second half. They are enjoying the majority of possession and look confident.
46'
KICK-OFF! The referee blows his whistle and Brugge get the ball rolling once more.
45' +2
There goes the half-time whistle!
45'
W. Kvist gets yellow.
Jørgensen is shown a yellow card and that means he will miss the first leg of the knockout phase, whether it be in this competition or the Europa League in the New Year.
43'
Both sides appear to be holding out for the half-time whistle now. Neither of them are looking to force the issue and seem quite weary.
40'
We are into the final five minutes of this first half. Now would be a good time for Brugge to force their way back into the contest, but it is looking unlikely at the moment.
38'
The visitors look to release Pavlovic in behind the defence with a high ball forward. However, Van Rhijn stays with him before making a vital interception.
36'
Things have gone very flat over the past few minutes with neither side really threatening in the final third. Mind, Copenhagen are still looking very comfortable.
34'
However, Copenhagen cannot affect what happens in the other match. All they can do is just focus on their own performance and hope for a helping hand from Leicester.
31'
Over in Portugal, Porto have just taken a 2-0 lead against Leicester. Jesus Corona has just doubled the lead for the 2004 UEFA Champions League winners.
29'
JUST WIDE! At the other end, Copenhagen threaten to extend their lead. A neat move sees the ball teed up for Delaney to strike on the edge of the box, but the skipper's drilled shot just fizzes the wrong side of the post.
27'
Brugge look to find a way back into the contest and force a corner after Refaelov's cross is deflected behind. However, the hosts cannot find a way through the blanket of white shirts.
24'
Copenhagen had lost just once in their last 34 matches in all competitions coming into this game. The way they have started suggests that run will continue today.
22'
Meanwhile, Refaelov is desperately trying to lift the hosts with an ambitious shot following a rare spell of possession inside the Copenhagen half. His shot is held easily enough by Olsen, but that is a positive sign for Brugge.
20'
The visitors are very much in control as we approach the midway point of the first half. They are knocking the ball around with plenty of confidence and Brugge are struggling to get near them.
17'
Copenhagen are doing what they need to do but they need Leicester to do them a favour in the other Group G match. In fact, Porto have just taken the lead there which means that this result will be irrelevant unless the Portuguese side fail to win.
15'
M. Jørgensen has scored a goal for FC Copenhagen! Assist by L. Augustinsson.
Augustinsson produced a very inviting delivery with his left foot that was begging to be attacked.
JORGENSEN MAKES IT 2-0!!! The Danes double their lead as Brugge are punished by another set-piece. The centre-half climbs brilliantly to beat Butelle to Augustinsson's corner and head into the empty net. Breathing space for Copenhagen!
14'
Copenhagen were 4-0 winners in the reverse fixture at Telia Parken in September and, the way this is going, you would not bet against a similarly comfortable win here.
12'
That goal has been the story of this group stage for Brugge. All their early promise was undone by a couple of lapses in concentration and it has definitely taken the wind out of their sails.
10'
A. Pavlović gets yellow.
Pavlović receives the first yellow card of the game after a rash challenge on Denswil.
8'
B. Mechele is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
COPENHAGEN LEAD!!! Mechele puts through his own net! The free-kick is swung into the box and takes a huge deflection off the centre-half, which wrong-foots the keeper and nestles in the bottom corner. That is just what the Danes were looking for!
7'
Having been on the back foot since the start of the match, the visitors have a chance to put Brugge under pressure after being awarded a free-kick near the corner flag...
5'
The hosts are one of only two teams yet to register a point after their opening five games in this season's Champions League. Therefore, they will be keen to end their campaign on a high.
3'
Brugge go straight onto the attack and a ball into the box is met by Wesley. However, the Brazilian is unable to direct his header towards goal and it goes behind for a goal-kick.
1'
KICK-OFF! Englishman Mike Oliver is our referee today. He blows his whistle and Copenhagen get the match underway!
By contrast, with plenty at stake for them in Belgium, it is no real surprise that Stale Solbakken names an unchanged Copenhagen side following a 1-0 victory over Randers on Saturday that stretched their lead at the top of the Danish Superliga to 11 points. Despite being doubtful, Andreas Cornelius leads the attack and his presence will give the Danes a huge boost.
CLUB BRUGGE SUBS: Bruzzese, Simons, Poulain, Vossen, Limbombe, Vanaken, Vormer.
CLUB BRUGGE (4-3-3): Butelle; Van Rhijn, Mechele, Denswil, Cools; Pina, Claudemir, Bolingoli; Refaelov (c), Wesley, Gedoz.
With Club Brugge's fate already sealed and a crucial Belgian Pro League clash with Anderlecht coming up on Sunday, Michel Preud'homme makes seven changes from last weekend's 2-0 victory over Oostende. That means that in-form striker Jelle Vossen is forced to settle for a place on the bench, along with fellow first-team regulars Hans Vanaken, Timmy Simons and Ruud Vormer. Former Copenhagen midfielder Claudemir returns in the midfield of the park, while Lior Refaelov captains the side on his first Champions League appearance of the season. The Israeli scored a hat-trick when the two sides met in the group stages of the 2014/15 UEFA Europa League.
This is a must-win clash for FC Copenhagen. They must collect three points to stand any chance of progressing to the knockout stages of this competition for just the second time, which will be secured providing that FC Porto fail to beat the already qualified Leicester City in the other Group G clash.
Hello and welcome to LIVE text coverage of the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League! Today, we're at the Jan Breydelstadion for FC Copenhagen's crucial Group G showdown with the already eliminated Club Brugge - it's good to have your company!
FC COPENHAGEN SUBS: Andersen, Hogli, Kadrii, Antonsson, Gregus, Kusk, Keita.
HERE THEY COME! The players are making their way out onto the field. They are about to observe the iconic anthem as well as a minute's silence in honour of the Chapecoense victims. Kick-off is moments away...
HALF-TIME: CLUB BRUGGE 0-2 FC COPENHAGEN
FC Copenhagen are doing everything they can at the moment and hold a comfortable 2-0 lead over Club Brugge. However, it all counts for nothing at the moment, as FC Porto are 3-0 to the good against Leicester City in the other Group G match.
Back come the teams and the second half is about to commence...
FULL TIME: CLUB BRUGGE 0-2 FC COPENHAGEN
Two early goals were enough on the night for FC Copenhagen to claim the three points, but they were not enough to book their place in the knockout stages. FC Porto's 5-0 victory over Leicester City has condemned them to third place in Group G and Europa League football in the New Year.
That's all for today! Thank you for following the LIVE coverage of the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League - hope you've enjoyed it. Until next time, see you soon!
