Outcome reported
- FC Fredericia beat Esbjerg fB 1-0 after Esbjerg defender Anders Sønderskov was sent off early in the second half.
- Casper Jørgensen scored the decisive free kick, lifting Fredericia to third place with 12 points.
- Esbjerg dropped to 11th and below the relegation line after its fifth straight loss, while AaB beat AB 2-0.
Two minutes into the second half, a red card changed Saturday’s first-division match between FC Fredericia and Esbjerg fB.
Esbjerg defender Anders Sønderskov had just come on as a substitute when he pulled down Fredericia’s new signing Asbjørn Bøndergaard just outside the penalty area. The referee sent him off.
Casper Jørgensen then drove the resulting free kick into the top corner off the post, giving Fredericia a 1-0 lead. That remained the final score at Monjasa Park, sending the relegated Superliga side up the table to third place with 12 points.
Esbjerg, meanwhile, suffered its fifth consecutive defeat. The result left the west Jutland team 11th and below the relegation line.
Elsewhere, AaB secured a much-needed 2-0 victory over promoted AB. Kornelius Normann put the northern side ahead after 15 minutes, and Jubril Adedeji settled the match with a late penalty in Gladsaxe.
