Viborg moved ahead of Horsens with a 33-21 victory in the Quineldigen women's handball league on Wednesday evening. The away side took all three points at the home fixture, extending their perfect start to the campaign.
Before kick-off Viborg sat fourth on four points from two games, while Horsens occupied fifth place on two points after one win and one draw. The visitors had won both their opening fixtures, whereas the hosts had dropped points in their first outing.
The result leaves Viborg clear at the top of the current table with four points, while Horsens remain on two after picking up a point in the opening round. The gap between the sides widens to two points after this result.
Viborg came for a cross he never reached in their recent form, having beaten Solá and Larvik in their last two matches. Horsens had shown resilience against Odense but struggled against Rinköbing in their previous outing.
The visitors now sit one place above their opponents after the divergence of results. Horsens will need to find a way to close the two-point gap if they hope to stay in contention.
