3-1 victory against Hvidovre IF
AB Gladsaxe played the first of six training matches today. It went really well, and AB took the victory with 3-1 over Hvidovre IF. From the start, AB put a lot of pressure on the opponent, showed good energy and sensible handling of the ball. It only took 5 min. before a corner kick from Albert Nørager sent the ball into the box, where Marcus Mustac Gudmann sent a return ball from the goalkeeper directly into the net for a 1-0 lead. AB continues with the energetic and high pressure, and several good opportunities arise. After 35 minutes of play, Christoffer Thrane receives a good pass and sends the ball into the goal for a 2-0 lead. New defender Adrien Koudelka had to retire with a minor head injury after a collision. He did a good job until then. In the second half, Hvidovre came more into the game and had a couple of chances, but it was still AB who had the most chances. Despite some substitutions, AB continued to play at a high tempo and with good relationships between the players. After 25 minutes of the second half, striker Asger Højmark-Jensen came on the pitch and did a good job. Albert Gaub-Jakobsen pulls off a good save after a good chance for Hvidovre IF. Unfortunately, Mads Vang only gets a few minutes on the pitch when he is injured in a tackle and has to retire. After 44 min. Marcus Mustac Gudmann runs forward and gets a good pass close to the center line. He sprints towards goal, closely pursued by a defender, who sees Gudmann send the ball into the goal for 3-0. Andreas Smed from Hvidovre IF reduced the score to 3-1 shortly before the final whistle. After the match, head coach Patrick Birch Braune said: “We are underway. It was the first training match. We came out and did what we’ve done well and what we’ve been successful with. It really hurt Hvidovre. We played at a pace that was really good today and it sets a standard going forward. We’re super happy with the boys and with a 3-1 victory over Hvidovre. Of course, there is some rust to be knocked off. We’re really happy with the result, but really sad about the injury to Mads Vang – we cross our fingers and hope for the best that the injury is not that serious”.
