Keeping the form going from last month victory against FC Frederica, a good away victory of 3-1 against Vejle keeps AB in the top 4. Generally it was a match dominated by AB’s 2 strong ball winning midfielders Rasmus & Kasper Hansen.
Inviting the relegation threatened Skive IK to Gladsaxe stadium turned out to be a real men’s fight with lots of free kicks and card showed no one was really able to have a fluid game plan going for long. The 2 goals both came after a free kick.
Already promoted AGF who by this stat also had just won the division came to Gladsaxe, AB tried again the defensive stand which had not worked last time, but this time an early penalty gave AB the much needed moral boost to defend most of the match only to concede a goal in the dyeing minutes of the game.
Lyngby mean deadly rivalry playing in Lyngby stadium AB had earlier secured 3 points by a defensive mentality both this time an offensive strategy took Lyngby by surprise. Scoring 2 goals in the first half after dominating the game. Second half AB stepped back into the defensive position only to concede a goal in the last minutes.
Viborg was next positioned as number three this was a regular fight for the 3 position and the possibility to challenge AC Horsens for the last promotion position. The game was dominated by the fact that a loss could be a disaster so open chances were a minimum in the game. Linus Olsson scored the only goal after a corner.
Positioned as number 3 AB was about to become a challenger for Horsens but, the pressure were too big for the young team, not being able to put the ball in the net cost the chance of victory. The result also meant that Viborg was only 1 point after going into the last match.
Brønshøj had already secured another season in the first division and had nothing to play for, AB was in need of a victory to maintain the position as number 3. But an early goal from Brønshøj put the pressure on AB who was not able to score against a good organized Brønshøj defence.
