Soccer-Nmecha nets double as Dortmund down Copenhagen 4-2

COPENHAGEN, Oct 21 (Reuters) – Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha scored in each half as they overcame conceding an own goal to comfortably beat Copenhagen 4-2 in their Champions League clash at the Parken Stadium on Tuesday. Nmecha pulled off a superb dummy on the edge of the area before rifling home the opener in the 20th minute, but Dortmund were pegged back when defender Ramy Bensebaini's attempted clearance ricocheted off Waldemar Anton and into the visitors' net 13 minutes later. Dortmund regained the lead through a Bensebaini penalty in the 61st minute before Nmecha grabbed his second, and Fabio Silva scored his first goal for Dortmund to give them a 4-1 lead. Teenager Viktor Dadason came off the bench to score his first senior goal with a header for Copenhagen in the 90th minute but it was too little, too late. Dortmund are fourth in the table on seven points, with the Danes 31st in the 36-team standings with a single point from their three games. (Reporting by Philip O'Connor Editing by Toby Davis)
