“Dorian Hanza opened the scoring for Viborg, converting an assist from Charly Horneman to break the deadlock after a spell of Viborg pressure that had already produced two offsides from set-piece situations.”
Pivotal“Charly Horneman doubled Viborg's lead on the stroke of half-time, steering home an assist from Mads Sondergaard after a sustained period of Viborg pressure that had seen Bundgaard's shot blocked and Horneman himself go close moments earlier.”
Pivotal“Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan gave Horsens a foothold in the match just two minutes into the second half, converting an assist from Jimi Tauriainen to make it 1-2 and briefly igniting hopes of a home comeback.”
Pivotal“Asker Beck's goal for Viborg at the 55th minute was the decisive moment of the match — arriving just eight minutes after Horsens had clawed one back and putting the game back beyond Horsens' reach, extinguishing any real belief in a home comeback.”
Pivotal“Ivan Milicevic reduced the deficit to a single goal after Horsens' double substitution injected new energy, setting up a nervous finale for Viborg, though they ultimately held on for the win.”

Outstanding performance
Viborg FF•AttackerViborg FF arrived at Horsens as the more convincing side across most of the ninety minutes, converting three of their six shots on target while their hosts could only muster half as many attempts in total. The visitors controlled the tempo from early on, Charly Horneman pulling the strings in the final third — first assisting Dorian Hanza's 34th-minute opener and then converting a second himself on the stroke of half-time to send Viborg in two goals to the good. Horsens briefly threatened a revival at the start of the second half when Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan halved the deficit just two minutes after the restart, yet Viborg snuffed out the momentum almost immediately as Asker Beck restored the two-goal cushion in the 55th minute. The closing stages saw Horsens throw men forward after a double substitution at 68 minutes, and Ivan Milicevic's goal gave the hosts a glimmer, but time ran out as Viborg held firm to collect all three points — a result that underlines the gap in quality between the two sides at this stage of the season.
