FA 2000 secured a 1:0 victory over Fremad Amager in the Round of 128 of the Danish Cup on Tuesday evening. The hosts played with ten men for most of the contest after going down to a red card in the second minute. Fremad Amager arrived with mixed recent form, having drawn three of their last five matches while FA 2000 had taken just one win from that run.
FA 2000's own player was sent off at the 2' mark, leaving them with a man advantage to overcome. The visitors held firm defensively despite being a man short, but the break finally came at 72'. The goal proved decisive as Fremad Amager could not find an equaliser despite holding their shape.
FA 2000 dominated possession at 56 per cent and generated 136 attacks compared to their opponents' 104. They won nine corners to two, though the visitors managed 18 free kicks. The statistics suggest FA 2000 created more opportunities, but only converted one into a goal.
The result extends Fremad Amager's run of draws and narrow defeats. They had shared points in three of their last five outings before this cup exit. FA 2000 meanwhile picked up their first win in five matches, following a heavy 1:3 loss to B 93 on the previous weekend.
The hosts advance to the next round of the Danish Cup. The red card at the start meant they had to manage the game carefully after taking the lead. One goal and ten men made for an uneven evening, but the result was enough to send them through.
