Wasted penalties are expensive for AGF in bitter defeat against local rivals

Two wasted penalties were expensive for the AGF when the local team underwent their eighth defeat out of nine possible, while Randers left with a 2-1 victory at the Vejlby stadium in Aarhus.

The local team has otherwise played an excellent first half, where the game could have been decided.

Only three minutes had been played when Patrick Mortensen advanced AGF.

Gift Links, who, before kick -off, added three years to his contract so that he now operates until 2029, freed himself on the left wing and produced perfect delivery for Mortensen, which ended up with an easy tap.

Mortensen was likely to mark more in the first half. Especially shortly before half-time, when Kristian Arnstad won a penalty for the local team.

Randers goalkeeper Jannich Storch plunged well to save the first mortensen attempt, but Mortensen was surprisingly given another attempt when the referee tried Storch for leaving the goal line before kick. Mortensen, who has only wasted two penalties in his career in the Danish Superliga, then opted for more power, but Storch also managed to save this attempt.

Jesper Hansen, who replaced Leopold Wahlstedt in order following the disappointing draw last week in Sonderjyske, was not tested in the first half, but that has changed significantly since the start of the second half. After only seven minutes, Randers had transformed 0-1 in 2-1.

First of all, Mohamed Toure served the ball on a plateau for Norman Campbell, who was not mistaken at close range, and two minutes later, Campbell then provided the Layup for Elies Mahmoud to mark via the post.

The goal completely changed the momentum of the match, because AGF had trouble regaining control.

Randers was closer to doing so 3-1 than the AGF had to equalize, because Mathias Greve got closer to two situations.

The AGF tried to add pressure in the final phase, but Randers wanted to take three prestigious points against their bitter rivals.
