Match Overview and Key Moments
Kickoff came at 18:00 and the opening phase was subdued. The hosts produced the first threat from a corner, but a headed effort drifted behind for a goal kick. The visitors replied when Mads Ejdum set up Mats Köhlert through the middle, only for the shot to miss the target. Pressure then built from the flanks, including a Köhlert corner, but the breakthrough had to wait.
It arrived in the 12th minute. Köhlert sent in a cross from the left, and Marcus Younis met it with a header to put the visitors ahead, marking his first goal for the club. The match grew combative with frequent duels, and Horsens gained a stronger foothold after falling behind. Both teams created chances, but the score held.
Control swung back to the visitors late in the first half, with play largely inside the home side’s half. In the 39th minute, Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan tested Patrick Pentz, who saved confidently. Minutes later, an effort from Oskar Fenger was ruled out for a marginal offside, leaving the interval score at 1-0.
Early in the second half, Köhlert whipped in a dangerous free kick from the right that Horsens managed to clear. The hosts then carved out a major opportunity but were denied by Pentz and determined defending. A 58th-minute corner from Köhlert brought more pressure without reward, but the lead doubled three minutes later when a Horsens defender turned a cross into his own net to make it 2-0.
In the 75th minute, Oliver Villadsen’s cross found Olti Hyseni, whose header struck the crossbar. The closing stages passed without major incident, and the visitors closed out a comfortable 2-0 victory in Horsens. This match not only highlighted the visitors’ attacking prowess but also showcased their defensive resilience, setting a promising tone for the remainder of the season.
