Viby and ASA Aarhus met in the Danish Cup Round of 128 on 4 August 2026, with the hosts unable to break through before extra time. The 0:0 scoreline held through ninety minutes and the first period of extra time, forcing a penalty shootout to decide who advances. ASA Aarhus emerged victorious on spot-kicks, eliminating Viby from the competition.
Viby came closer to creating chances, registering 69 attacks compared to Aarhus's 84, though possession was evenly split at 49 to 51 percent. The hosts also claimed the corner count 6-4 and won the free-kick battle 17-22. Aarhus were reduced to ten men at the 81st minute, yet managed to weather the pressure without conceding.
The shootout unfolded in the dying seconds of extra time, beginning at 120+1. Aarhus scored their first attempt while Viby's opening kick found the frame. By then the tension was palpable as each side traded misses and conversions. Viby's third attempt at 120+3 was saved, while Aarhus replied at the same interval.
The decisive moments came at 120+5. Viby missed their fourth penalty, and Aarhus converted the final spot-kick to win 3-2 on penalties. The away end never stopped once Aarhus took the lead in the shootout, and the visitors closed the game out with composure.
Aarhus's recent form showed inconsistency, with draws against Hedehusene and Marienlyst before a heavy defeat at Lyngby. Viby had enjoyed a run of victories earlier in 2025, including a 5-1 win over Middelfart II, but those results now belong to another chapter. The Danish Cup Round of 128 yields another step closer for the visiting club.
