Kasper Schmeichel happy with point in Copenhagen as Leicester secure fourth Champions League clean sheet

Kasper Schmeichel reflected on a point gained rather than two dropped as Leicester moved a step closer to qualifying for the Champions League knock-out stages in Copenhagen.

The Premier League champions were thankful to goalkeeper Schmeichel in the reverse fixture a fortnight ago when he produced a magnificent late save from Andreas Cornelius to preserve his side's slender 1-0 lead.

And the big Dane was again on hand to frustrate his compatriots at the Telia Parken stadium on Wednesday, making another crucial stop from Cornelius to keep his clean sheet intact during the 0-0 draw.

Indeed, Leicester became the first side to keep a clean sheet in each of their fist four Champions League games - Schmeichel acknowledged the worth of the draw given Copenhagen's record of not losing at home since August 2015, a run that now stretched to 29 games.
