[ We are now half-way through the fall tournament and are beginning to
  get an idea about which teams will make it for the championship
  playoff in the spring. One team, OB, is a clear leader in the
  superliga, four teams (Silkeborg, FCK, AaB, Br/ondby) are keeping up,
  AGF can't seem to get their act together, three teams (Frem, Lyngby,
  Naestved) are in trouble, and B1909 are doomed.
 
  OB, Silkeborg, and AaB are doing far better than expected and one
  wonders how long they will last. AGF has far too good a team for
  their curent performance and are bound to improve. Lyngby, the
  champions, are doing awfull, and their troubles are increasing with
  pressing economic problems and all sorts of internal quarrels. The
  big question is if they will get some og their many good but injured
  players ready in time. Frem will need to pull togeher to stay out of
  trouble, but I still believe that it will be Naestved that must
  follow B1909 down. ]

Round 9, September 26th and 27th.

 Br/ondby - AGF  0-0
   [ AGF came to Br/ondby for a 0-0 and played in their very defensive
     style, relying on a good performance by the Halvorsen, Nielsen, a
     Thomsen trio, backed by keeper Troels Rasmussen. Br/ondby is still
     looking stronger than they have been for a long time, and they
     dominated the game. Br/ondby's infamous lack of class strikers meant
     that the AGF defense had an easy time neutralizing Br/ondby in the
     last 30 meters of the field. Jan Bartram was alone in trying to
     create anything for AGF in the midfield, and he did so well, but
     but with little tactical back-up nothing came of it. Br/ondby libero
     Jes H/ogh came close to scoring as he hit the bar two minutes into
     second half, and AGF nearlt stole the victory as Claus Christiansen
     hit the inner side of the post towards the end of the half. ]

 FC K/obenhavn - AaB  0-0
   [ A rather dull game as none of the teams played their traditional
     quick-paced football. Instead the game developed into a cautious
     affair, with FCK having the upper hand. AaB, on the other hand, had
     the best chances. Only three minutes into the game Peter M/oller
     controlled a random ball in the FCK box, but Ivan Nielsen saved for
     FCK by what looked like a penalty to me. Peter M/oller had another
     big chance half-way into the second half as he ran through a
     disorganized FC defense, but his shot went wide. FCK had a hard
     time without Michael Manniche (stil injured) and the Johansen twins
     (one injured, one banned), and AaB keeper Niels Christian J/orgensen
     had a fine day, so little came of the FCK attempts. ]

 OB - Lyngby  0-0
   Red card, Brian Skaarup, OB (56)
   [ A surpise result as Lyngby manages to keep the league leader away
     from their goal. Lyngby clearly had a lot of respect for OB and put
     up a good fight. OB dominated the game but lacked the luck, while
     Lyngby keeper Kim Brodersen showed a number of great saves. OB had
     to play most of second half with10 men after Brian Skaarup received
     two yellow cards for a series of bad fouls. OB continued to
     dominated, and Lars Elstrup came closest to scoring when he sent a
     fine header on the post. ]

 Silkeborg - Frem  4-0 (3-0)
   1-0 Jacob Keldberg (2)
   2-0 Keld Bordinggaard (8)
   3-0 Michael Hansen (37)
   4-0 Michael Hansen (90)
   [ Silkeborg opened the game at a high pace with some imaginative
     attacks. Only two minutes into the game defender Troels Beck
     controlled the ball on the right, just outside he box. Wingback
     Michael Larsen overlapped, but Bech chose instead to send a volley
     for charging libero Jacob Keldberg who scored on a fine header.
     Frem was shocked, and the following panic game a stray chance to
     Keld Bordinggaard who made it 2-0. Frem never got over this start,
     and Silkeborg easy rolled the game home with some efficient
     counter attacks and good control of the defensive. Silkeborg still
     has four strikers injured, but as long as their defenders keep
     making goals they manage fine without. ]

 Naestved - B1909  2-2 (1-1)
   1-0 Jeppe Tengbjerg (8)
   1-1 Carsten L/ober (o.g., 43)
   1-2 Lars Larsen (pk, 73)
   2-2 Alex Nielsen (76)
   [ A game between the bottom two teams in the league, and the teams
     were equally bad. The game was played at a very slow pace, and
     Naestved was allowed to dominate most of the ``action''. Jepper
     Tengbjerg, who has scored 20 goals in five games for Naestveds 2nd
     team, showed some energy at the start of the game and opened the
     scoring after a fine combination with Alex Nielsen. B1909 rarely
     attacked at all, but towards the end of the first half they
     managed a few corner kicks, and Naestved defender Carsten L/ober
     decided the take advantage of one of these an score on a header.
     In the second half a stray B1909 attack lead Steen Petterson alone
     with Naestved keeper Brian Flies, and Flies only managed a penalty.
     A few minutes later Alex Nielsen could equalize after a fine pass
     from Mark Strudal. If this game is to be taken as a guideline, the
     result was OK and both team are fit for relegation. ]
