  [ Because of a long summer vacation (EC92, Olympics), the Danish
    league is now moving fast, with two games a week.

    The lower division started out a few weeks ago and is now moving
    with a game a week. I will try to keep up on both. ]

 FC K/obenhavn - B1909  2-1 (1-1)
   0-1 Jacob Svinggaard (30)
   1-1 Michael Manniche (45)
   2-1 Lars H/ojer Nielsen (52, pk)
   [ No-one has high expectations of B1909 and most expect them to
     leave the superliga pretty quickly, while FCK is most of
     everyones favourite to win the championship. Well, you wouldn't
     guess from this game. B1909 actually dominated most of first half
     and quite reasonably got a lead when their best player, Jacob
     Svinggaard (formerly Vejle) placed a fine header close to the
     post. Svinggaard proved to be a fine organizer and striker and
     sadly had to leave the game with a serious knee injury 10 minutes
     into the second half. A real loss for B1909. None of the team did
     anything special for a while, but in the dying minutes of the
     half Lars H/ojer Nielsen raced to the goalline and listed a
     beautiful volley into the box where Michael Manniche hammered
     the ball into the goal. FCK got a bit more control in the second
     half, with the Johansen twins showing some excellent technical
     football in the first 20 minutes of the half. This resulted in a
     number of chances for both of them, and in one of these
     situations B1909 sweeper Michael Hemmingsen was too slow with a
     tackle. Lars H/ojer Nielsen scored on the penalty, though B1909
     keeper Henrik J/orgensen came close to saving. FCK showed class
     for a while after the goal but nothing came of it, and instead
     B1909 pressed on and had a number of chances in the remaining
     part of the game. In the very last minute of the game Jan Krause
     placed a header on the post. B1909 played well and had deserved a
     draw in this game. ]

 Br/ondby - Frem  3-3 (1-1)
   0-1 Marek Czakon (34)
   1-1 Henrik Jensen (42)
   1-2 Dan Eggen (58)
   1-3 Mukremin Jasar (72)
   2-3 Kim Vilfort (74)
   3-3 Kim Vilfort (87)
   [ A few days ago Br/ondby came to Aalborg trying the defensive
    strategy and go trashed. This time they tried instead a powefull
    offensive strategy against always dangerous Frem, resulting in a
    great game with lots of goals, far more chances, drama, and some
    fine play. As a spectator I can only applaud the change. Both
    teams had lots of chances, with Frem having the first big chance
    to always wellplaying Thomas Th/ogersen after 10 minutes.
    Th/ogersen was there again after half an hour with a brilliant
    pass to Polish forward Marek Czakon, who scored easily. Czakon
    looked like a fine addition to the Frem team, creating many fine
    chances and working good with Th/ogersen. Henrik Jensen equalized
    towards the end of the half on a fine header. In the second half
    Br/ondby had some defense problems, especially with high balls
    into the box -- the loss of Kim Christofte (FC K"oln) is felt.
    This gave Frem to easy goals after corner kicks, with Norwegian
    defender Dan Eggen and later Mukremin Jasar scoring on headers.
    Br/ondby is still lacking a real forward -- Belgian forward Hans
    Christiaens is still unchallennged in ability to miss obvious
    chances -- and instead must have midfielder scoring the goals.
    They have lost John Faxe Jensen (Arsenal) and Ronnie Ekelund
    (Barcelona) but still have some fine players, with Kim Vilfort
    being the most prominent. Vilfort runs like mad and is all over
    the field. It's not always elegant, but his persistence pays off.
    With 20 minutes to go him organized an offensive and Br/ondby
    succeeded in pressuring the Frem defense into making mistakes.
    Twice did Vilfort appears in the panic in the Frem box and push
    the ball across the line, and Br/ondby even got close to pulling a
    win in last seconds of the game.

 OB - AGF  3-2 (1-1)
   1-0 Jens Madsen (21)
   1-1 Stig T/ofting (38)
   2-1 Lars Elstrup (50)
   2-2 Nocko Jokovic (66)
   3-2 Leon Hansen (78)
   [ OB had an easy start against Naestved, so this was the game where
    they would have to prove that they mean business this year. An
    they did. Both teams started the games playing safe, but after a
    slow and nervous start the game took off and developed into a
    great fight, with both teams shoving some nice offensive play.
    Lars Elstrup showed some fine play both as a striker and as an
    organizer. After 20 minutes he sent Allan Nielsen off on the left
    side with a beautifull pass, and Nielsen played a fine cross into
    the middle of the box where Jens Madsen dived and headed the ball
    past AGF goalkeeper Troels Rasmussen for a decidedly fine goal.
    AGF competed with OB in a bid for Jens Madsen (formerly Ikast)
    this sommer and might regret letting OB have him. The game moved
    back and forth for some time, with both teams having a number of
    chances and showing good play. Towards the end of the half AGF was
    awarded a freekick some five meters outside the box, somewhat to
    the left. Stig T/ofting effortslessly lifted the ball over the
    wall and into the left corner of the goal for a beautifull goal.
    OB opened the second half pressing AGF backwards and quickly
    received their bonus -- a half chance to Lars Elstrup was
    efficiently executed. Both teams pressed on, and halfway through
    the half AGF received a freekick a few meters outside the box.
    T/ofting prepared himself, but to the surprise of the OB players,
    19 years old Nocko Jokovic executed instead, lifting the ball
    around the wall and into the goal close to the bar. (Jokovic is
    Yugoslavian, btw, but has been living in Denmark for a good number
    of years. I believe he is in fact a Danish citizen, but I'm not
    sure). A few minutes later AGF defender and (former) international
    Kent Nielsen seemed to have grown tired of having OB forward and
    international Lars Elstrup outsmarting him and kicked him down --
    Elstrup left the game with a knee injury and will not be ready for
    the Danish WC qualifier against Lithuania. OB charged forward,
    after some 10 minutes Martin Nielsen toppled over Carsten
    Dethlevsen in the box in what looked like an accidental situation
    to me. Leon Hansen scored efficiently. AGF pressed on and in the
    dying minutes of the game Ole Mortensen cam close to equalizing
    with a fine long shot, but OB keeper Ole H/ogh dived and pushed
    the ball just past the goal. OB won a game that could have gone
    either way and looks like a real contender in ythe superliga. AGF
    is likewise showing some good play, and will be even better when
    they get the likes of S/oren Andersen and Jan Bartram up to speed
    again. ]

 Lyngby - AaB 0-2 (0-0)
   0-1 Peter M/oller (70, pk)
   0-2 Peter Rasmussen (88)
   [ AaB arrived in their usual defensive position for games in the
    Copenhagen area -- hoping for a 0-0 and ready to defend against a
    strong pressure from last years champions. Well, the pressure
    never materialized, in fact nothing happened at all in the first
    half. Lyngby could not, AaB didn't want to. In the second half AaB
    seemed to have sensed that Lyngby is not what they used to be and
    that it should be safe to sneak forward. This resulted in a number
    of chances to Peter M/oller who failed to show efficiency -- 3 or
    four times alone with goalkeeper Kim Brodersen and no goals. Sigh.
    Jan Pedersen was the constructive force in the game in this
    period, organizing AaBs offensive well, as he did against Br/ondby.
    About halfway through the game he played a fine pass to Peter
    Rasmussen who was immediately toppled over rather clumsily by
    Emeka Ezeugo. M/oller did his job on the penalty. The goal caused
    Lyngby to give it all up and AaB to play it safe -- two points is
    more than they would have hope for in Lyngby, who cares about the
    audience? To make matters worse, Lyngbys John Larsen had to leave
    the field with an injury, and since Lyngby had already made to
    substitutions they had to finish 10 men. In the dying minutes of
    the game Peter M/oller rushed to the goal line and played a fine
    cross in front of goal where Peter Rasmussen charged forward and
    scored. ]

 Silkeborg - Naestved 4-0 (1-0)
   1-0 Jacob Keldberg (5)
   2-0 Keld Bordinggaard (65)
   3-0 Ingvar Johansen (78)
   4-0 Keld Bordinggaard (81)
   [ Both teams opened the season with weak play and had to improve.
    Still, the game was rather weak had little action. Silkeborg
    opened with a solid defense lead by Ingvar Johansen as usual,
    hoping for Alan Reese and new player Keld Bordinggaard (previously
    OB) the fast young players. They had the luck, too, with the
    Naestved defense making a horrible mistake at the first corner
    kick of the game, letting Jacob Keldberg have an easy score on a
    header. Silkeborg kept on waiting, though, letting Naestved have
    more play than they needed to. Halfway though the second half
    Ingvar Johansen passed a freekick to Keld Bordinggaard who scored,
    talking Naestved keeper Brian Flies by surprise. The Naestved
    defense have a habit of falling apart towards the end of a game,
    and sure enough, Silkeborg started having lots of chances and it
    was only a matter of time for more goals to come. Silkeborg won
    without impressing anyone, while Naestved is obviously in trouble. ]
