Copenhagen held Porto to a 0-0 draw in the Champions League to keep the race for second place in Group G alive.
After this scrappy stalemate at Parken Stadium, the Danish side remain two points behind their visitors with one game to play as both look to join group winners Leicester City in the last 16.
Having drawn 1-1 in Portugal earlier in the campaign, the two teams were again finely matched in a game lacked quality as opportunities came at a premium.
The chances that did arrive were squandered, with Copenhagen goalkeeper Robin Olsen's double-save keeping out Andre Silva when the Porto man really should have opened the scoring in the second half.
Erik Johansson had earlier headed the home side's best opening wide, and their attacking threat waned in the absence of top-scorers Andreas Cornelius and Federico Santander.
Copenhagen now require a favour from Leicester as they travel to Porto on matchday six, but Stale Solbakken's men must also show more against Club Brugge in order to keep their last-16 hopes alive.
