On Friday evening, AB hosted N\u00e6stved at Gladsaxe Stadium. The match was important for the league standings, so everything was set for an exciting game. The atmosphere was fantastic, with 957 spectators in attendance.
AB got back to winning ways as the team beat the league leaders from N\u00e6stved 3-0.

After a brilliant, well-played first half, AB went into the break 3-0 up thanks to goals from Jonathan Mathys, who scored twice, and Milan Silva Rasmussen. That puts Jonathan Mathys alone at the top of the 2nd Division top scorer’s list in the 2nd Division promotion round.

AB\u2019s starting XI<\/strong>
AB\u2019s coaching staff made no changes to today\u2019s starting lineup compared to the most recent match against Vendsyssel FF, so the lineup was the same against N\u00e6stved. In goal was Adam Ingi Benediktsson; at right back Tobias Damtoft; in central defence Adrien Koudelka and Marc Dal Hende (captain); at left back Travian Sousa; in midfield Marco Vesterholm and S\u00f8ren Ils\u00f8e. On the left wing Jonathan Mathys and on the right wing O\u00b4Vonte Mullings. Up front were Milan Silva Rasmussen and Noah Engell.

Match report<\/strong>
Unlike last weekend\u2019s match against Vendsyssel FF, AB showed different energy, physical presence and good football. AB pressed N\u00e6stved all over the pitch from the start. It was actually N\u00e6stved who had the first chance of the match from a free kick after just a minute, but Adam Ingi Benediktsson got down quickly and made a good save.
After that, AB had much of the play and were in control of the match. A better pitch than in the most recent match against Vendsyssel made it possible for AB to play quicker and with more precise combination play.
N\u00e6stved were dangerous on the counter, working their way up the pitch especially down the left. After a cross into the box, Adrien Koudelka put pressure on, the ball bounced around on the goal line and eventually fell to Jonathan Mathys, who made it 1-0. Just four minutes later, Milan Silva Rasmussen dribbled in from the right across the middle and played a perfect pass to Jonathan Mathys, who doubled the lead to 2-0 with a crisp finish into the near corner.

S\u00f8ren Ils\u00f8e won the ball in midfield and nudged it on to O\u2019Vonte Mullings. He quickly played it out to the right to Tobias Damsgaard, who shot at goal. N\u00e6stved goalkeeper Albert Gaub-Jakobsen couldn\u2019t hold on to the ball, and Milan Silva Rasmussen made it 3-0 after 27 minutes. Just before the half-time whistle, N\u00e6stved won a free kick on the left, but Adam Ingi Benediktsson dealt with it. There was great support for the team, who were applauded off the pitch as they headed into the dressing room.

After the break, N\u00e6stved came out with renewed energy and fought for their chance. They had more and more of the ball and at times showed what a good footballing side they are. AB dropped deeper and defended really well. Marc Dal Hende marshalled the troops superbly, and his shouts could be heard in the stands.

All in all, Adam Ingi Benediktsson put in a rock-solid performance. He dealt with the efforts that came in from N\u00e6stved, and he also produced fantastic saves in two situations where N\u00e6stved had a player completely free.
After 65 minutes, Casper Grening replaced Jonathan Mathys on the left wing. At the same time, Travian Sousa went off and Frederik Lindgaard came on at right back, while Tobias Damtoft moved over to left back.
Tobias Hageltorn came on and took Noah Engell\u2019s place up front.

Marco Vesterholm stopped a quick break with a very long, powerful run, and eventually won the ball off the player close to the byline and goal. Earlier in the match, Adrien Koudelka had also headed the ball away from an unmarked player. Alfred Horup replaced S\u00f8ren Ils\u00f8e in midfield. Tobias Damtoft took a seat on the bench and Mikkel Brund took over at left back. In the final part of the match, Milan Silva Rasmussen had the chance to score when he was one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but he just missed out.

Captain Marc Dal Hende says there was power all the way through:<\/strong> \u201cI think you can split it up a bit. Our first half might be one of the best performances we\u2019ve delivered this season. N\u00e6stved don\u2019t get a chance to breathe. We\u2019re just all over them everywhere, and our front players work absolutely insanely hard\u2014so huge credit to them. It makes defending a lot easier.
In the second half, we have to defend a 3-0 lead. N\u00e6stved come more into it, and even on a difficult pitch they\u2019re a good footballing side. So credit to them, and credit to Adam in goal, who once again makes insane saves. A fantastic team performance again.

Even though we didn\u2019t win that many second balls, we were comfortable. All in all, a complete performance, and I\u2019m very proud that the boys clearly took a step in the right direction today. We always want to bounce back, especially after a not very good performance against Vendsyssel. Today we showed the physicality that I think we lacked against Vendsyssel. Power all the way through, and that makes the work easier for us in defense.

Playing at Gladsaxe Stadium with that support is just class and a real pleasure. The pitch was significantly better today, and our groundsmen at the stadium do a huge job and work incredibly hard\u2014so massive respect to them. So all in all, we\u2019re back on track,\u201d Marc Dal Hende concludes.

Head coach Fannar Berg Gunn\u00f3lfsson is very proud and impressed: <\/strong>\u201cI can\u2019t be anything but very proud and impressed with the players\u2019 performance today. We weren\u2019t happy after our last match, so the players knew they had more to give. They came out and gave what it took today. N\u00e6stved are a good football team, and if you give them time on the ball\u2014we did that a couple of times in the first half\u2014and we saw how quickly they could play through us. N\u00e6stved couldn\u2019t cope with the energy and power the players put into the match. It was a fantastic game.

Adam Ingi Benediktsson had a fantastic match and kept a clean sheet. He has performed well over the past couple of months. Jonathan Mathys scored two goals and also did impressive defensive work for the team. The back line stood firm, and Adrien Koudelka and Marc Dal Hende tucked in centrally and managed to stop N\u00e6stved\u2019s attackers.
All the players were really on it today\u2014wherever I looked, they were brave and fought. The midfield pairing of S\u00f8ren Ils\u00f8e and Marco Vesterholm was top class\u2014I expect a lot from them, and they really delivered today. In every position there\u2019s only positive things to say. We played a really good match in the way we want to play, with a very strong performance,\u201d Fannar Berg Gunn\u00f3lfsson concludes.

The next match will be played on Friday, May 1, 2026 at 7:00 PM against FC Roskilde at Roskilde Idr\u00e6tspark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
