Round 14, October 31th and November 1st

 Frem - AGF  1-2 (1-0)
   1-0 Jimmi L"uthje (25)
   1-1 Claus Thomsen (62)
   1-2 Torben Christensen (73)
   [ A very, very important win for AGF, and conversely a disaster for
     Frem.  AGF was beginning to feel the threat of relegation, but
     with this win they should be safe. Frem, on the other hand, is
     left behind at the second relegation spot. Frem currently has all
     the "luck" of a relegation candidate. They completely dominated
     the first half where the AGF defense looked very shaky, with
     Jan-Halvor Halvorsen not knowing what to do. Frem failed to take
     advantage of this and missed several great chances. For the
     second half AGF took out Halvorsen and put on young Martin
     Nielsen as organizer, and this turned the game around. AGF began
     to dominate events and create chances, and with Claus Thomsen
     getting more time for offensive raids, AGF succeeded in turning
     chances into goals. The AGF win was to completely fair, but such
     is the luck of Frem.... ]

 Silkeborg - FC K/obenhavn  1-2 (1-2)
   0-1 Lars H/ojer Nielsen (5)
   1-1 Michael Hansen (16)
   1-2 Brian Kaus (41)
   [ A quick-paced and interesting game as two of the best team in the
     fall meet in Silkeborg. FCK got an ideal start as Lars H/ojer
     Nielsen hammered the ball home from the distance after only 5
     minutes, but Silkeborg was no more shocked than they where able
     to turn the game around. Silkeborg dominated events and quite
     reasonably equalized. Silkeborg continued to dominate, even
     though FCK played some fine football in this period. Both teams
     where willing to attack and to try things, and the quick,
     technical style of both teams game an interesting game. With
     their strong defense and upper hand in the midfield, Silkeborg
     looked set to win the game, but a fine pass from Lars H/ojer
     Nielsen found a Brian Kaus with the fastest reaction in the box
     and a lead for FCK. Silkeborg continued to dominate in the second
     half, but though they showed many fine attacks they never was
     able to score again. ]
   

 B1909 - Lyngby  1-4 (1-1)
   0-1 Flemming Christensen (28)
   1-1 Johnny Kwasniak (30)
   1-2 Henrik J/orgensen (66)
   1-3 Allan Kuhn (75)
   1-4 Henrik Risom (87)
   [ B1909 put up a good fight for their theoretical chance to survive
     in the best league, but they really do not have the class and
     make to many silly mistakes. Things looked reasonable in the
     first half hour or so, but then a bad pass from Lars Meinert was
     intercepted by Allan Kuhn, who played to a free Morten Nielsen.
     The attempt was saved by B1909 keeper Henrik J/orgensen, but
     veteran Flemming Christensen controlled the rebound and scored.
     B1909 was not beaten yet, and a fine long hot from Johnny
     Kwasniak made it 1-1. In the second half the B1909 defense was
     too loose and the Lyngby midfield had far too much room to
     operate. This resulted in several chances, and 20 minutes into
     the half Henrik J/orgensen scored on a header. Some 10 minutes
     later B1909 keeper Henrik J/orgensen failed to get the ball out
     of the danger zone when he stormed outside the box, and Allan
     Kuhn could score in an empty goal. B1909 was falling apart now,
     and in the final minutes of the game Henrik Risom could score and
     easy goal when he received the ball from Allan Kuhn in completely
     free position.]

 Naestved - Br/ondby  1-1 (1-0)
   1-0 Michael Nonbo (41)
   1-1 Tommy Schramm (90)
   [ Br/ondby arrived in their usual style -- full speed from start,
     lots of pressure on the opposition, and early control of the
     midfield. Naestved found little they could do about this and was
     forced backwards. Br/ondby dominated all phases of the game and
     possessed the ball most of the time, but had their usual problems
     turning dominance into goals. This time around Br/ondby had the
     additional problem of Naestved keeper Brian Flies, who had a very
     fine day. Time after time he performed stunning saves as Br/ondby
     players attempted long shots or was completely free in the box.
     Kim Vilfort came alone with Flies midway through the first half,
     but Flies saved. Jens Madsen had a fine header close to the post,
     but Flies pulled a great save. And on and on it went, with
     Br/ondby charging forward, outsmarting the Naestved defense only
     to see another save by Flies. And then, close to the end of the
     first half Michael Nonbo hammered a pass from the left into the
     goal from the distance with a wonderful shot. Br/ondby was one
     down but didn't give up, and in the second half the pattern was
     the same, with Br/ondby dominating but unable to score.  The game
     was into the extra time when Tommy Schramm in desperation
     first-timed a pass from Kim Vilfort and saw the ball hit home
     beyond the reach of Brian Flies -- a great goal. This game showed
     once again that Br/ondby has a fine team and that they
     desperately need a real striker. Naestved moved farther away from
     relegation and should be happy with one point -- two would not
     have been reasonable. ]

 AaB - OB  0-0
   [ AaB has played some really miserable games at home lately and
     with three points in the past six games have been moving down the
     table at alarming rate. OB on the other hand seems to have lost a
     bit of their pace from the start of the season, bit is still a
     strong contender. AaB opened the game with offensive play but
     found it hard to truly dominate against a strong OB defense. OB
     slowly gained more hold on the game, got more control of the
     midfield, and for the rest of the 1st half the teams took turns
     at having the upper hand and rolling on attacks. Both teams
     created chances, lots of them, but this was the day of the
     goalkeepers. AaB keeper Niels Christian J/orgensen showed several
     fine saves, especially on a number of impressive long shots, but
     the real star of the show was OB keeper and former international
     Lars H/ogh. In the first half AaB created scores (sorry) of
     chances, only to see H/ogh save. It was only four minutes into
     the half when Peter Rasmussen sent a shot on the bar from the
     middle of the box, and in the next half hour both Rasmussen,
     Peter M/oller, and Henrik Rasmussen missed great chances in a
     combination of weak attempts and great play by H/ogh. The AaB
     defense was once again a bit weak, especially when leading the
     ball forward, loosing many balls in bad passes. S/oren Thorst did
     a good job at neutralizing OB forward Alphonse Tchami, missing
     only once.  This lead to Tchami coming completely alone with
     Niels Chr. J/orgensen, but the AaB keeper slided down and secured
     the ball. The quality of the game fell somewhat in the second
     half, with AaB loosing the drive in the attacks and creating less
     chances.  Still, Peter M/oller received a number of chances and
     really should have secured this game for us. A 0-0 game, and a
     quite entertaining such. ]
