Match Highlights and Key Moments
The hosts nearly struck inside two minutes when Viktoria Wik’s effort hit both posts and stayed out. The opener came after 12 minutes, when a cross from the left led to a scramble with the Østerbro goalkeeper and the ball was ruled to have crossed the line off Hovmark.
Hovmark doubled the lead in the 36th minute. A free kick was swung into the box, Wik won the initial header, and Hovmark forced the ball over the line for her fifth league goal of the autumn in the second tier.
She had a clear chance to complete a hat-trick around the hour mark but sent her shot just wide, and was later substituted to warm applause from the home crowd.
The team visits Esbjerg next Sunday, which promises to be another challenging match in their campaign. The next home match is on Saturday, 11 October at 14:00 against FC Thy-Thisted Q in Vanløse, where fans can expect another exciting performance from Hovmark and her teammates.
As the season progresses, the competition in Liga B remains fierce. With Hovmark’s current form and the team’s solid defense, they are looking to maintain their position at the top of the standings. Fans are eagerly anticipating how the next matches will unfold for this promising squad.
