DTU beat Køge 3:0 in the opening fixture of the 1st Division East on 4 October 2026. Both sides enter the new campaign with zero points in the table, having played no matches this season. The result gives the hosts an early advantage in what promises to be a competitive division.
DTU's recent form suggested a solid foundation — they had won three of their last five matches before the break, including victories over Enghave and Amager 2. Køge showed similar patterns, picking up two wins against the same opponents but losing their final three encounters. The scoreline reflected that gap in confidence between the two sides.
For Køge, the defeat extended a run of poor results against the division's stronger teams. They had previously fallen to Grøndal and Gentofte 2, and this time could only manage a clean sheet in defeat. The visitors will need to regroup quickly if they hope to climb from their current position.
DTU's victory, meanwhile, has them sitting eighth after one match — though the table remains essentially blank for both clubs. The hosts will look to build momentum, having shown they can capitalise when chances arise. Køge must find a way to convert their defensive solidity into points.
