Round 15, November 8th

 AGF - B1909  1-1 (0-0)
   1-0 S/oren Andersen (58)
   1-1 Steen Petterson (86)
   [ A rather boring game where AGF once again shows their nasty habit
     of allowing the opposition a goal or two in the last 10 minutes.
     Once again the fatal goal came after AGF had taken out (former?)
     international Jan Bartram from the midfield and brought on a
     defender. B1909 has no class at all, and it's dismaying that AGF
     can't win a game such as this. Most of the time the ball was
     kicked around at random, AGF apparently hoping that Bartram, Stig
     T/ofting, or S/oren Andersen would strike a bit of luck. And true
     enough, it was a fine pass from T/ofting to Andersen that gave
     AGF the goal at the start of 2nd half. The lead held 'till 5
     minutes from time where Steen Petterson equalized with a fine
     shot from the distance. The most remarkable thing about the game
     was that B1909's Lars Meinert and Damir Cerkic did *not* receive
     red cards for clear-cut professional fouls. ]
 
 Br/ondby - Silkeborg  2-0 (0-0)
   1-0 Jens Risager (56)
   2-0 Uche Ukechukwu (79)
   [ Both teams played in their usual style: Br/ondby pressing forward
     all the time, Silkeborg hoping for a quick break on a
     counter-attack, and both did so well. Both teams have good
     defenses, so it proved difficult to score. Br/ondby managed to
     control their offensive well without allowing Silkeborg to
     strike, and Br/ondby succeeded at producing a number of chances,
     but as usual they missed most of them.  Just as the game was
     beginning to look like another nightmare for Br/ondby, defender
     Jens Risager decided to join the attacks, and he proved to have
     more luck than the forwards as he sent home a fine pass from
     veteran Henrik Jensen. Silkeborg did not have the power to gain
     control of the game at this point, so Br/ondby kept the pressure
     up. Just to prove that the defenders have the upper hand in
     Br/ondby, Uche Ukechukwu came forward and headed home a free kick
     from Henrik Jensen. ]

 AaB - Frem  3-0 (0-0)
   1-0 Henrik Vandet Kristensen (51)
   2-0 Jens Jessen (61)
   3-0 Peter M/oller (89)
   [ The first half of this game was somewhat dull, with AaB having
     the upper hand but not really taking advantage of it. The AaB
     defense did well and especially S/oren Thorst had good control
     over the Frem forwards. AaB found it more difficult to create
     real chances, with their offensive pay once again lacking
     organization and overall idea. AaB midfield organizer Jan
     Pedersen had to be taken out with an injury after only 12
     minutes, and this did of course not help matters. Five minutes
     into the 2nd half Henrik Vandet Christen received a pass just
     outside the box and hammered ball into the goal close to the bar.
     This force Frem forward and they reorganized, moving a number of
     defenders forward. This gave more pressure on AaB but also gave
     more room for the AaB strikers, and Jens Jessen took advantage of
     this 10 minutes later as he received a fine pass from Peter
     M/oller. Jessen had several good rushes on the right and sent a
     number of good passes in front of goal, but AaB lacked the
     timing.  It was not until the dying minutes of the game that
     Pater M/oller could score for the first time in a long while
     after a fine pass from Henrik Rasmussen. With this result AaB is
     safe from relegation, while Frem has only theoretical chances to
     survive. ]

 Lyngby - Naestved  1-1 (0-1)
   0-1 Henrik Friman (35)
   1-1 Henrik J/orgensen (48)
   [ In this relegation game none of the teams wanted to take any
     chances and played it a good deal more safe than the average
     Danish bank. Naestved grouped in front of goal, hoping for Mark
     Strudal to come up with something. And sure enough, the most
     lonely forward in northern Europe managed to convert a random
     ball into a good chance with a quick rush and a pass to Alex
     Nielsen in front of goal. Lyngby keeper Kim Brodersen saved, but
     the ball rebounded to Henrik Friman who scored easily.  Lyngby
     had dominated events and they continued to do so, pressing to
     equalize.  A few minutes into the 2nd half Henrik Risom played a
     fine deep pass for Henrik J/orgensen, who scored his 6th goal
     this fall. Lyngby continued to dominate, but as the reports from
     Aalborg came in, both team got less and less interested in doing
     anything, as the result was fine for both teams. ]
      
 OB - FC K/obenhavn  0-2
   0-1 Michael Manniche (28)
   0-2 Christian L/onstrup (50) 
   [ FCK messed up their games in the EC3, but it looks like they are
     back on track. In this game OB was allowed to posses the ball
     most of the time, but never to be a real threat to the FCK
     defense. Skipper Pierre Larsen controlled his defense well and
     never allowed himself to panic under the OB pressure. FCK slowly
     gained more control of the midfield and started creating chances,
     especially by sending high balls into the box for Michael
     Manniche, who is back from 8 weeks injury. After half an hour
     Lars H/ojer Nielsen sent a corner kick backwards, received the
     ball again, and sent a precise volley into the box where Michael
     Manniche headed the ball home. OB tried to come back in the game,
     but FCK proved to be too strong to allow that. OB came charging
     to the second half, but it was only 5 minutes into the half when
     OB keeper Lars H/ogh completely missed a long throw in from
     Kenneth Wegner.  Michael Manniche headed the ball to Christian
     L/onstrup who scored in an empty goal. In the rest of the game
     FCK kept down the pace and controlled events, and OB never found
     a way to change that. In this FCK displayed some of the control
     and reliability that they so badly missed in the EC3 games
     against Auxerre. ]
