Ajax Copenhagen Women secured a 28-25 victory over Bjerringbro in the opening match of the 1. Division campaign on Saturday. The away side claimed all three points from their first outing of the season, while the hosts started their campaign with a defeat at home.
The result puts Ajax Copenhagen in third place on the table, though the standings show both teams have played zero games officially — suggesting this match may have been an exhibition or pre-season fixture given the unusual timing in August. Bjerringbro sits in sixth position, also with zero points from zero games in the official records.
Bjerringbro came into this match with a string of heavy defeats earlier in 2026, losing five consecutive matches against teams including Sønderjyske, Ikast, and Odense. Their most recent result before this fixture was a 29-37 loss to Rinkøbin Handbol on March 15.
Ajax Copenhagen, meanwhile, showed more resilience in their recent outings. They had beaten Rødovre Women 18-19 in April and secured a 25-21 victory over Aarhus Women on March 21. Their form suggested a team capable of competing at the higher end of the division.
The 28-25 scoreline indicates a relatively tight contest despite the final result. With both teams officially having zero games recorded, this match's impact on the league table remains unclear — though the result certainly gives Ajax Copenhagen a positive start if these points count towards the season standings.
