[h2][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/fc-copenhagen-hSPZwbEh/vejle-Mmkx9baa/?mid=xQnB1uSk"]Vejle 1-4 FC Copenhagen[/a][/h2][p]After two successive wins under new coach Bo Svensson, FC Copenhagen arrived in Southern Jutland with plenty of confidence, and it only lasted four minutes before they took the lead as [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/madsen-emil/YFWMwVWG/"]Mads Emil Madsen[/a] produced a perfect delivery for the unmarked [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/cornelius-andreas/CCv6fske/"]Andreas Cornelius[/a] to poke the ball home from close range to give the visitors an early lead.[/p][p]Bo Svensson's outfit completely dominated the opening stages, and it looked only a matter of minutes before they would double their lead. But totally against the run of play, Vejle restored parity after 17 minutes when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/hjulsager-andrew/0YxHaH7g/"]Andrew Hjulsager[/a] floated a cross to the back post, where [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/flo-lasse/0trfp85n/"]Lasse Flo[/a] headed the ball past [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/kotarski-dominik/lSEheXlN/"]Dominik Kotarski[/a].[/p][p]Both sides had chances to score further in the second half, where continuous rain and a poor pitch made conditions difficult for the two teams. FC Copenhagen edged ahead seven minutes from the end when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/vianney-geovanni/zFSaGVnn/"]Geovanni Vianney[/a] scored his first goal in the Superliga after Igor Vekic could only parry a shot from a narrow angle from Robert.[/p][p]Two minutes from the end, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/dadason-viktor/0CbVqp1D/"]Viktor Dadason[/a] escaped Vejle's offside trap to make it 3-1 when he was left completely unmarked and in injury time Geovanni Vianney scored his second to make it 4-1. [/p][h2][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/nordsjaelland-2wZHnGDH/viborg-v99EsEjo/?mid=vkL5O8Y9"]FC Nordsjaelland 2-1 Viborg[/a][/h2][p]A last-gasp winner from Justin Janssen was enough to give FC Nordjaelland a 2-1 win against Viborg in a direct bronze duel when the two sides clashed in Farum on Sunday. [/p][p]The visitors otherwise looked on course for a surprise win at the artificial turf in Copenhagen, when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/horneman-charly/Klu8rX3J/"]Charly Nouck[/a] scored from close range after a delivery across goal from Dorian Junior after 19 minutes. [/p][p]However, 13 minutes later, the home side got back into the game when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/amoako-prince/xf5I4wdn/"]Prince Junior[/a] restored parity with a deflected shot from the edge of the box.[/p][p]After the interval, Viborg looked sharp and had chances to restore the lead without being able to find the net, and instead FC Nordsjaelland stole all three points with seconds remaining when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/janssen-justin/jeW1Ihfb/"]Justin Janssen[/a] rose high to head home a corner when the two sides otherwise looked poised to settle for a draw. [/p][h2][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/fredericia-Aab5vJaC/silkeborg-4dCl8IE5/?mid=tf1u714S"]Silkeborg 2-2 Fredericia[/a][/h2][p]Silkeborg IF failed to make the most out of their chance to move out of the relegation zone when they squandered a comfortable 2-0 lead to settle for a 2-2 draw at home against Fredericia. [/p][p]Kent Nielsen's side otherwise looked set for a comfortable win when they scored two goals within the space of six minutes in the first half to take a 2-0 lead.[/p][p]First [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/mccowatt-callum/b3ByUPYq/"]Callum McCowatt[/a] gave the home side the lead after 23 minutes when his deflected shot fooled Fredericia keeper Valdemar Birkso. And then six minutes later, Silkeborg's leading goalscorer [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/adamsen-tonni/KdEEAUts/"]Tonni Adamsen[/a] doubled the lead when he slid the ball into the back of the net from a hard delivery across goal from [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/kirk-william/n3kVNBNF/"]William Kirk[/a].[/p][p]However, the visitors got a lifeline 12 minutes from the end when Silkeborg failed to clear the box, and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/lindekilde-jonatan/nLCrwB7q/"]Jonatan Lindekilde[/a] took advantage by steering the ball past the reach of Silkeborg keeper [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/larsen-nicolai/S2Q8qHGf/"]Nicolai Larsen[/a]. And then, with only seconds remaining, Lindekilde scored his second of the afternoon with a well-struck finish from the edge of the box. [/p][h2][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/odense-tUXLozTN/randers-fc-x0NnnfrU/?mid=YTcX8NZF"]OB 3-1 Randers[/a][/h2][p]OB kept up their hopes of securing seventh spot when they secured a comfortable 3-1 win at home against Randers. Against the run of play, the home side took the lead after 19 minutes when German striker [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/niemiec-jonah/lvfGmMDJ/"]Jona Niemiec[/a] controlled a long delivery and finished off with a strong shot past Randers-keeper [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/izzo-paul/v5z7HY7j/"]Paul Izzo[/a]. [/p][p]Randers then restored parity after an hour's play when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/edudzi-cyril/xld66os3/"]Cyril Edudzi[/a] scored a deserved equalizer for the visitors. However, Randers' hopes of escaping relegation then took a blow after 71 minutes when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/owusu-leeroy/EyaMRNba/"]Leeroy Owusu[/a] made it 2-1. [/p][p]The home side made the three points safe four minutes from the end when [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/mccoy-marcus/pCjLX6rI/"]Marcus McCoy[/a], despite running into a congested area in the box, managed to squeeze the ball home to bring the home supporters to their feet. [/p]
