AGF and FC Midtjylland left to settle for draws as Brondby still haven't scored this year

[h2][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/aarhus-OOXnKGbO/brondby-67R5vKqt/?mid=Q7rgcWZA"]AGF - Brondby[/a][/h2][p]AGF, backed up by a sell-out crowd at Ceres Park Vejlby, began confidently and took control of proceedings in the opening part of the game. They also came very close to taking the lead after 20 minutes, when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/tingager-frederik/K4IDMxKt/"]Frederik Emery[/a] launched a mazy run through the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/brondby/67R5vKqt/"]Brondby[/a] defense only for his strong close-range effort to bounce off the crossbar into safety.[/p][p]But Brondby gradually dug themselves back into the match with a massive physical effort in midfield from Daniel Wass, while [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/vallys-nicolai/ddhFSCV7/"]Nicolai Vallys[/a] began to show his creativity, which allowed Brondby to fashion a couple of opportunities where [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/divkovic-marko/t8lg2yu1/"]Marko Divkovic[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/ambaek-jacob/j3hmjJGH/"]Jacob Ambaek[/a] had chances to put the visitors ahead. [/p][p]Just before the break, AGF came close to awarding Brondby their first goal this year when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/serra-janni-luca/Sj1nU4Ob/"]Janni Serra[/a] headed the ball towards his own net, but Eric Kahl saved on the line, while Brondby's players appealed for the ball being over the line. [/p][p]AGF gained much better control of the match in the second half, and when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/links-gift/4MkHK9lQ/"]Gift Links[/a] from the edge of the box tried to curl the ball into the far corner, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/pentz-patrick/2FdwiKP5/"]Patrick Pentz[/a] came up with a terrific save in the Brondby goal to keep the game scoreless.[/p][p]With five minutes left in regular time, Pentz again denied the league leaders another win when he produced a superb save to prevent [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/bech-tobias/fL5m1CfP/"]Tobias Bech[/a]'s curling free-kick from hitting the net. [/p][h2][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/midtjylland-8GZDmdbB/viborg-v99EsEjo/?mid=YXo1eA4N"]Viborg - FC Midtjylland[/a][/h2][p]After their disappointing exit in the Europa League 1/8 final against Nottingham Forest, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/midtjylland/8GZDmdbB/"]FC Midtjylland[/a] suffered another blow to their ambitions of winning at least one trophy this season when they had to settle for a 1-1 draw away against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/viborg/v99EsEjo/"]Viborg[/a].[/p][p]"It was just one big fight", said FC Midtjylland's [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/bech-sorensen-mads/YX3FTCF6/"]Mads Bech Sorensen[/a] after the game, and that was a fair description of the 90 minutes where there wasn't so much creative build-up to impress the spectators, who were instead treated to a raw physical fight on a pitch that also didn't provide superb conditions for spectacular football.[/p][p]Eight minutes into the second half, Mike Tullberg's outfit took the lead when Junior Brumado squared a delivery across goal where the on-rushing [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/andreasen-valdemar/lMWigK2S/"]Valdemar Byskov[/a] slid in to steer the ball past goalkeeper [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/lund-lucas/ELI7TVp9/"]Lucas Lund[/a] in the Viborg goal.[/p][p]However, the home side never gave in and were rewarded for their resilience after 69 minutes when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/sondergaard-mads/YDEMDUhe/"]Mads Sondergaard[/a] turned provider for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/hanza-dorian/2a9vUaGM/"]Dorian Junior[/a], who remained composed and coolly curled the ball past the reach of Midtjylland keeper [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/olafsson-elias/AXTCchy8/"]Elias Olafsson[/a] to restore parity. [/p][p]The visitors thought they had stolen all points when Viborgs [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/kuzmic-srdan/WANxs9MI/"]Srdjan Kuzmic[/a] made an own goal after a corner by bundling the ball over the line shortly before the end, but VAR showed that Mads Bech had touched the ball with his arm in the sequence leading up to the goal, and so FC Midtjylland failed to take advantage of AGF's goalless draw against Brondby. [/p][p]In the last game of the Championship playoffs, FC Nordsjaelland recorded a 2-0 win against Sonderjyske. AGF are still leading the league five points ahead of FC Midtjylland, while FC Nordsjaelland, Viborg and Sonderjyske are all 15 points behind AGF in third spot. [/p]
