Midtjylland Women beat Kolding 3-1 in the Quindeliga on Friday evening, extending their own unbeaten sequence while Kolding's recent form continued to falter. The hosts had already played one more fixture than their visitors, which showed in the table where Midtjylland sit second with 14 points from six games.
F. Nautrup opened the scoring at 27 minutes, and A. Givskov doubled the advantage shortly after at 34. Kolding managed to get back into the match when A. Lund converted a penalty at 80 minutes, but the visitors had already lost S. Troelsgaard to a red card at 78 minutes and could not find an equaliser.
J. H. Uhd added a third goal for Midtjylland at 60 minutes, and here's the thing — that was the moment the game really settled. The hosts had been comfortable enough to make changes, bringing on L. Hammer at half-time and then pairing M. Kaihoj and A. Thierry for Kolding at 54 minutes.
Midtjylland brought on R. Dybdahl and J. H. Uhd at 68 minutes, though Uhd had already scored, so that substitution must have been for someone else. F. Ludvigsen also came off at 69 minutes, and by then the result was beyond doubt. J. Tenfjord and M. Perdersen were among the late replacements at 81 and 89 minutes respectively.
Midtjylland's record of four wins and two draws from six games means they remain in contention at the top end of the table. Kolding's five games have yielded only two victories and three defeats, leaving them fifth with six points — a gap that feels wider than the scoreline suggests.
