Tarup-Paarup were beaten 0:3 by Vejle in the Round of 128 of the Danish Cup on Tuesday evening. The visitors took control early and never looked back. Three goals across the match settled the tie before many had settled in.
Vejle opened the scoring in the sixteenth minute, a moment that shifted the balance. They doubled their advantage fifty-two minutes in, and a third goal seventy-four minutes from the start confirmed the result. Tarup-Paarup had nothing to do all evening once the visitors found their rhythm.
The statistics tell a familiar story. Vejle held 0.59 of possession against 0.41 for the hosts, while corners stood at eight to five. Three offsides for Vejle compared with none for Tarup-Paarup, and the visitors also accumulated ten free kicks against twelve from the home side. Many shots with one goal means chances went begging — but the goals were enough.
Tarup-Paarup's recent form offers context. They lost 0:6 to Nesbü in February, and before that a 0:3 defeat to Viborg in June. A 1:1 draw with Grenaa in May was their only point in five outings. The run ended here, but not in a way that surprised many.
Vejle's last five matches show consistency. A 2:0 win over HB Køge, a 2:2 draw with AB København, and a 1:1 with Hvidovre. Two more draws followed against Hillerød and Randers. The away side moved through with authority.
The scoreline and the goal difference settle this tie. Vejle advance to the next round, while Tarup-Paarup return to the lower tiers with a heavier defeat than expected.
