Another winner for Olsen in Lions win

Brandur Olsen scored his second Alka Superliga goal in successive games as FC Copenhagen saw off SønderjyskE on Sunday night.

The midfielder thundered a header into the top corner midway through the first half to add to Steve De Ridder’s well-taken opener.

SønderjyskE were reduced to 10 men when Daniel Jensen was given a second yellow card for tripping Rurik Gislason.

But the home side fought back and former Lion Marvin Pourie halved the deficit with a break away off Mathias Zanka’s mistake late in the game.

Yet the visitors held on for the win and even saw SønderjyskE’s Nicolaj Madsen sent straight off for a lunge again on Gislason.

Copenhagen’s last game of the season off at 16:00 local time in Telia Parken this Sunday, when Hobro - safe from relegation - visit the capital.
