Gislason bags winner in Telia Parken

Rurik Gislason scored his first Alka Superliga goal of the season as FC Copenhagen beat AaB in Telia Parken.

The Icelander shot low past goalkeeper Nicolai Larsen on 26 minutes after Steve De Ridder had found his man free in front of goal.

De Ridder himself went close to scoring in the second half but cut his shot wide, while Bjorn Sigurdarson hit the side netting.

Only a great save from Larsen prevented substitute Brandur Olsen bagging his second goal in a week when the 19-year-old side-footed Christoffer Remmer’s centre towards the top corner.

Anders Jacobsen squandered AaB’s best opening just minutes into the game when he fired wide a one-on-one opportunity, while Nicklas Helenius headed off target late in the game.

The victory puts FCK to within three points of securing second place in the Alka Superliga with just three more games remaining on the season.
