[p]Defending Danish champions AGF had to fight hard for it, but ultimately salvaged a point at [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/lyngby/tjPFkxq5/"]Lyngby[/a] Stadium. Lyngby caused major problems for the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/aarhus/OOXnKGbO/"]Aarhus[/a] side, who were under pressure, but a stoppage-time goal from [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/jonsson-jens/IP01ZCVl/"]Jens Jonsson[/a] s[a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/aarhus-OOXnKGbO/lyngby-tjPFkxq5/?mid=Qi00fNLr"]ecured a 2–2 draw[/a] for AGF on Saturday evening.[/p][p]Lyngby veteran [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/gytkjaer-frederik/z1b76CSp/"]Frederik Gytkjaer[/a], who had come off the bench, briefly looked like the match-winner after converting a penalty in the 88th minute to make it 2–1. A few minutes later, however, Jonsson stepped up to equalize with a header.[/p][p]AGF now has two points from their first two matches of the season, while Lyngby picked up their first point.[/p][p]The home team made a better start against AGF, who have had a busier-than-usual start to the season. The Aarhus side played a Champions League qualifier against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/lech-poznan/OpNH7Ouf/"]Lech Poznan[/a] on Wednesday, which was only decided after 120 minutes and a penalty shootout, which AGF won.[/p][p]The packed schedule was reflected in head coach Jakob Poulsen’s starting lineup, with several players given a rest. At the beginning of the match, AGF suffered a further blow when key defender Frederik Tingager left the pitch with an injury. If he fails to recover in time for the match against Sabah FK, it will be a significant loss for the Aarhus team.[/p][image alt="Lyngby - AGF - Player Ratings" id="f8537c45-a825-468d-b74e-8f37497a0280" credit-line="Flashare" guid="0404b6f6-ca02-4399-925f-227c98643706" original-width="1200" original-height="1200" /][p]After just over half an hour, the visitors began to find their footing, and an [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/arnstad-kristian/0GyXDnum/"]Arnstad[/a] shot on goal struck Lyngby’s Oskar Buur Rasmussen on the forearm, and following a VAR check, the referee pointed to the penalty spot.[/p][p]Kristian Arnstad stepped up to take it. The new AGF captain confidently converted the penalty with a powerful shot into the top of the net.[/p][p]Lyngby put up a spirited fight in the second half as they pinned the champions to their own half, and a free-kick led to Lyngby’s equalizer. [/p][p]Casper "Dani" Winther displayed excellent shooting technique as he sent the ball over the wall and into the left corner, leaving Mads Hedenstad helpless in the AGF goal.[/p][p]With five minutes remaining, substitute Frederik Gytkjaer won a penalty and converted the chance himself, putting Lyngby ahead 2–1.[/p][p]The lead lasted only a few minutes, though. In stoppage time, Jens Jonsson rose to meet a cross from Frederik Emmery and headed the ball into the net to make it 2–2.[/p]
