CONCLUSION

FC København advanced despite the numerical disadvantage and lower possession share in this second leg encounter. Their ability to secure the 2-1 result and overall progression highlighted resilience under pressure from Polissya Zhytomyr's sustained attacks. The expected goals differential favored the visitors yet the home side capitalized on key moments to prevail. This outcome reflects the impact of the red card on game control and the home team's efficiency in converting limited opportunities. Both teams displayed contrasting styles with the visitors dominating territory but unable to overcome the deficit from the first leg combined with the second leg scoreline.
