It was a night to remember for Copenhagen’s Orri Steinn Óskarsson and KÍ Klaksvík on Wednesday. The teenage striker Óskarsson scored a hat-trick against the team managed by his father, while the Faroese champions became the first team from the island nation to secure group-stage European football after they shocked Häcken in the Champions League qualifiers.

Óskarsson, 18, was the star of Copenhagen’s 6-3 victory in the second leg of their second qualifying round tie against the Icelandic champions, Breidablik, who are managed by his father, Óskar Hrafn Thorvaldsson.
