FC Copenhagen must dig himself out of a kæmpehul, if the spring should regain the championship.
FC Midtjylland played in sequences the lions, as the season’s second big meeting between the two titelbejlere ended up with a meritorious 4-1 victory.
It all exploded in the middle of the first half, when FC Midtjylland really turned up the pace after an indifferent start, and Sory Kabas season to beat a somersault within a minute.
A nice FC Midtjylland-attack of the fantasy ended with Mikael Anderson strenuously reached the ball on the end line and turned it in for Sory Kaba. The most expensive player in FC Midtjyllands history of demonstrated total absence of self-confidence, as his indecision made it easy for Sotirios Papagiannopoulos to block the end off to the corner.
The dødbold came to turn, to change everything for Kaba.
Evanders toxic corners sparked panic in the FCK-defensive. It managed to fend off the first two wolves-endings, before the ball dumped down in front of Sory Kaba, who after all was not so devoid of self-confidence, that he could not chop the ball in the empty goal.

What confidence does for a striker, was observed two minutes after scoring. A transformed Kaba went irresistibly into an air battle with Victor Nelsson and headede ball whiff of Kalle Johnssons goals.
a Few minutes later it flew with the big FC Midtjylland striker up in the horizontal and saksesparkede the ball away at the halfway line. It was a play that, with its actions, said to the audience and fellow actors ‘Sorry for the delay, friends… Now I arrived.’
FC Copenhagen had from the start of the match featured førerholdet up to dance. Michael Santos should have scored when he got a good chance after five minutes. And shortly before åbningsmålet came, Dame N’Doye forward to a great opportunity, but closed weak pressured by Erik Defends.

the Similarity in the duel disappeared, however, from the moment FC Midtjylland came in front. Viktor Fischer gestured just a minute after the 1-0 goal excited against his teammates to shake up the passivity that had triggered the hjemmeholdets lead.
But up against the break seemed to FC Copenhagen by a group of zombies – a team in decay. FC Midtjyllands young team was a level above his rivals, and it could have gone very wrong for the lions.
Emiliano Marcondes was close to scoring spectacularly, when he from the middle of the field headede the ball over the stranded Kalle Johnsson, but the ball took a single hop on the grass and hit the lower edge of the crossbar.
Evander had a few times taken the impetus to the scoring in the prelude to the break, and shortly before Jens and go to sleep sent the teams to tea, the reward came, when Awer Mabil swung a superindlæg into the forehead of the brasseren, there headede to 2-0.

With eight gangangere in the starting line-up from Thursday’s Europa League clash against Dynamo Kiev, FC Copenhagen need something extraordinary in order to find the energy to get back in the fight.
They had no need for a wrongly convicted free-kick five minutes after the break, when Karlo Bartolec accidentally bumped his head together with Emiliano Marcondes in an air battle. And they had no need for that, Dame N’Doye passively let the Sory Kaba slide free on Evanderts free kick to an open header and 3-0.
Stale Solbakken had just saved Dame N’Doye in Europe, with a view topkampen. He was the player that should make the difference… not the way Solbakken had imagined it.
Senegaleseren got good enough a short time after brought a trace of excitement into the fight, when he from close range struck the 3-1 check, but before the lions really could believe in a comeback, and was N’Doye two minutes again on a dødbold, when Eric Defends jerked free on a corner kick and headede 4-1 in… presentations from the Evander, of course.

the second was an outright humiliation of the FCK is in sight, but the league leaders came no closer than a stolpeskud from Awer Mabil.
It was mercifully got rid of FC Copenhagen, and Stale Solbakken is now space to think to come up with the small miracle it will be to retrieve seven points on a team that basically does nothing but win.
