Nykøbing FC 5:5 Middelfart: Match Result

Match report

Nykøbing and Middelfart drew 5-5 after extra time in the Danish Cup Round of 32 on Tuesday, before a penalty shootout decided nothing as both sides scored five and missed three between them. The match finished 4-4 after 120 minutes, with A. Akale netting twice for Nykøbing and goals from J. Villemoes, L. Wehmeyer, P. Ullum and E. Ogude. Middelfart responded through A. Rrahmani, B. Kold, O. Svendsen and O. Gartig's converted spot-kick. The result means both clubs advance to the next round with the aggregate score level. And here's the thing about the opening exchanges — the game opened with a flurry that caught everyone off guard. J. Villemoes gave Nykøbing the lead in the thirteenth minute before A. Rrahmani equalised for Middelfart seventeen minutes later. L. Wehmeyer restored the home advantage in the thirty-sixth, only for A. Akale to level again three minutes on. O. Balslov and O. Jakobsen picked up yellow cards as the tempo increased. By then the pattern was set: goals coming in quick succession, substitutions arriving in batches. The sixtieth minute saw three changes for one side — M. Konradsen, A. Rrahmani and M. Rasmussen all entered. A. Akale doubled his tally from the penalty spot in the sixty-third, and B. Kold pulled Middelfart level in the seventy-first before O. Svendsen added a second for the visitors four minutes later. P. Ullum brought Nykøbing back into it in the eighty-fifth, but E. Ogude's late strike in the ninety-fourth meant extra time was inevitable. Extra time produced only one goal, and it came from A. Akale's second of the evening in the one hundred and fourteenth minute. O. Gartig converted for Middelfart in the one hundred and twenty-first minute, and then came the shootout that would decide everything. Akale missed his first attempt, and Nyman Engelmand failed to convert for the visitors. Praest, Dahl, Koch and Kold all scored for their respective sides, before C. Boyum Johansen's miss and O. Svendsen's conversion meant the scores were level once more. The penalty shootout ended with each team having scored five and missed three. Akale and Nyman Engelmand missed for their side, while Boyum Johansen also failed for the opposition. Svendsen's late conversion meant neither side could find a winner from the spot. It was a strange conclusion to a match that had everything — goals, cards, substitutions and a shootout that went to the limit. Nykøbing had beaten Middelfart 3-2 in their last league meeting on August twenty-second, and this result suggests the rivalry remains finely balanced. Both sides had been in mixed form recently, with the hosts winning 3-0 against Tisted on September sixth and the visitors drawing 1-1 with Fremad Amager. The Danish Cup Round of 32 had delivered exactly what it promised — uncertainty until the very end.
