Køge BK extended their perfect start to the Quindeliga season with a 2-0 victory over AGF at the regular season stage five fixture on Saturday. The visitors have now won all five of their opening matches, while the home side remain winless after five defeats.
C. Paulson opened the scoring in the 24th minute before being substituted at half-time, and M. Gejl sealed the result with a second goal in the 67th minute. AGF had a chance to respond when M. Gejl missed a penalty in the 40th minute, but the hosts never recovered.
The match turned when J. Poulsen received a red card in the 75th minute, leaving AGF with ten players. There had been two yellow cards for the home side already, by M. Gade and A. Callesen, and the visitors made no mistake after the numerical advantage.
Køge BK made changes to their attacking options, bringing on M. Braithwaite in the 68th minute and substituting goalscorer M. Gejl in the 71st. AGF responded with a triple change in the 60th minute, bringing on E. Oskarsdottir, K. Carusa, and E. Flick, followed by D. Jorgensen five minutes later.
AGF's form has been difficult all season. They have lost 0-3 to Fortuna Hjørring, 0-3 to Brøndby, 0-4 to Kolding, and 0-3 to Brøndby again in their last five matches, with only a 1-3 defeat to ASA Aarhus in women's football among the results.
Køge BK's recent record tells a different story. They beat PSV Eindhoven Women 1-0, Brøndby 2-1, Odense Women 3-0, Hearts Women 2-1, and Riga Women 4-1 in their last five outings.
The result leaves AGF bottom of the table on zero points from five games, while Køge BK sit top with 15 points from five wins and no defeats. The gap between the two sides has never looked wider.
