Round 13/33:
AaB - Brøndby FT 2-1 / (HT 1-0)

This was not pretty and it was not only Brøndbys fault. Referee Knud Erik Fisker has to take his part of the blame for this strange game. It was not a hard played game but still Fisker took up the cards 13 times. 11 yellows and two red cards and a penalty were the result. Asbjørn Sennels got two yellow cards in just three minutes (the second was for a simple obstruction) and was the first player sent off after just a half hour of play. An already tired Brøndby team now had to play for one hour with just 10 players. Manager Northwood pulled out an attacker (Denis) and brought in a new defender( When Fisker rewarded AaB a penalty in the last minute of the first half it became even tougher for Brøndby. In the second half Brøndby got the goal after 10 minutes of play. Ziberi scored his first goal in the league this season to tie the game. Brøndby now spend all their time defending and hoping to get away with one point but that was out of the question when AaBs Kasper Risgård scored his team’s second goal after 73 minutes. Nothing much happened in the rest of the game except from Knud Erik Fisker who had to get the last word. He pulled up the second red card of the day in the 90th minute. This time it was AaB player Kristian Bak Nilsen who had to take an early bath.
Brøndby Game MVP: Leon Andreasen (rating: 8)

FC Midtjylland – Esbjerg 2-0
OB – Frem 5-1
Silkeborg – AGF 1-1

Side note:

This is once again very close to real life. Knud Erik Fisker is a real character in Danish football. When he is the reff you can always expect lots of strange cards, penalties and other wired decisions. More often then not he has to explain/defend his rulings after the game. He is always in the centre of attention, not a good thing for a referee.
