Køge saw off AC Horsens Women 4-0 in the second round of the Quindelig regular season on Saturday, 1 August 2026. The home side took control early and never looked back, closing out a comfortable victory that reinforced their position at the top of the table. By then, the result felt inevitable rather than surprising.
Sarah Thygesen opened the scoring in the tenth minute, a clean finish that set the tone for the afternoon. Catherine Paulson doubled the advantage just before half-time, and Kyra Carusa added a third in the forty-fifth minute. The visitors had little to show for their first half beyond the odd speculative attempt.
Køge managed the game well after the interval, making changes to maintain their rhythm. Maria Nielsen came on in the fifty-ninth minute, and Paulson was replaced shortly after in the sixtieth. The home side kept pressing without losing composure, and Emelía Óskarsdóttir sealed the result with a late goal in stoppage time.
Four substitutions were made by the home team, with Benedickte Rasmussen, Mai Wendicke, and Anne Fabricius Larsen all entering the fray. The changes kept fresh legs on the pitch and ensured the intensity never dropped. To be fair, AC Horsens struggled to find any foothold after the first twenty minutes.
Køge sit first in the Quindelig with fifteen points from six matches, having won five and lost just once. AC Horsens remain sixth on six points from two victories and four defeats. The gap between them is now nine points, and the hosts have the deeper squad to sustain their push.
The result extends Køge's strong run this season, building on recent wins against Copenhagen and Kolding IF. Horsens' poor away form continues, with losses to Copenhagen and Brøndby among their setbacks. By then, the table tells the story more clearly than any single performance.
