Chelsea are the cusp of the Conference League quarter-finals after a 2-1 win over Copenhagen.
Scorers: Pereira 80'; James 46', Enzo 66'
Enzo Maresca's side initially struggled to break down their hosts during a cagey opening half at Parken Stadium as they failed to register a single shot on target.
Reece James finally broke the deadlock barely a minute after the interval with a rolled finish from outside the penalty area after he was teed up by Marc Cucurella.
The Blues doubled their lead midway through the second half when substitute Enzo Fernández converted a cutback from Tyrique George on the lefthand side.
But Copenhagen clawed back the deficit in the final ten minutes as Gabriel Peirera met Marcos López's free kick unmarked to set up a potentially nervy finish.
