Dinamo Zagreb struck twice in extra time to book their place in the Champions League group stages at the expense of Bodo/Glimt following a 4-2 aggregate success.
Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, the hosts struck twice in the first half at Stadion Maksimir with Mislav Orsic and Bruno Petkovic turning the tie on its head.
Yet Albert Gronbaek levelled the tie with 20 minutes remaining as last season’s Europa Conference League quarter-finalists forced extra-time.
But it was the Croatians who secured their first group stage appearance in three years; Josip Drmic edging them back in front before turning provider for Petar Bockaj in the dying moments.
Meanwhile, Copenhagen sealed their return to the group stages, having last appeared in the 2016-17 season.
The Danish champions held Trabzonspor to a goalless draw in Turkey, with a 2-1 aggregate victory booking their place in Thursday’s draw.
