The Aarhus striker to level the scores after Andreas Cornelius had given Copenhagen the lead on his second debut for the Danish Champions.

Cornelius headed home Youssef Toutouh's deep cross at the far post on 72 minutes to record his 19th Superliga goal and continue where he left off at the end of last season.

But Lions head coach Ståle Solbakken returned to the capital without a win after Lange bundled in a cross one minute from time, despite Johan Wiland's best efforts to keep the ball out.

The draw leaves Copenhagen in third place, five points behind Superliga leaders FC Midtjylland. The two teams clash in PARKEN next Sunday.
