Midtjylland beat Rekker Molle 28-27 in the First Division on Thursday evening, a result that keeps both sides unbeaten after two matches. The hosts sit third in the table while the visitors lead, but neither has dropped points so far this season.
Both teams arrived with winning records on paper, having taken maximum points from their opening fixtures. Midtjylland's recent form includes a loss to Rekker Molle back in March, which might have given them something to prove at home.
And here's the thing — we had called for the home side earlier, not with any great confidence, just 51 per cent. Sometimes those narrow margins hold up when you least expect them.
Rekker Molle had been the more impressive side in their previous encounters, winning 36-32 in March, but this time Midtjylland saw it out. The away side pushed hard but couldn't find that extra goal when it mattered most.
By then, the table situation hadn't shifted dramatically. Both teams remain on four points from two games, though the hosts have dropped a place or two while the visitors hold top spot.
What this means is another chapter in what looks like a competitive season. Neither side has shown weakness yet, and this narrow defeat won't change much for Rekker Molle's ambitions.
Midtjylland will take heart from holding their nerve, while the visitors can still look at the standings and see they're where they want to be. The season is barely under way, but already there's a story forming.
