Faroese side book place in third qualifying roundTeenage striker scores hat-trick against team managed by father
It was a night to remember for Copenhagen’s Orri Steinn Óskarsson and KI Klaksvik on Wednesday as the teenage striker scored a hat-trick against the team managed by his father and the Faroese champions became the first team from the island nation to reach the final qualifying round of the Champions League.
Óskarsson, 18, was the star of Copenhagen’s 6-3 victory in the second leg of their second qualifying round tie against Icelandic champions Breidablik, who are managed by his father Óskar Hrafn Thorvaldsson. Despite being handed his senior debut by Thorvaldsson at the age of 13 when he was in charge of Icelandic club Grotta, there was no room for sentiment as Óskarsson scored in first-half injury time to make it 4-1 on the night before adding his second two minutes after the break and a third in the 57th minute as Copenhagen set up a meeting with Sparta Prague in the third qualifying round.
