Midtjylland put two past Lions

FC Copenhagen fell to two second-half goals in Herning as FC Midtjylland moved to within a point of winning the Alka Superliga.

Andre Rømer bagged the opener when he collected a through ball and finished from a tight angle on 74 minutes.

And four minutes later the man who created Rømer’s goal, Pione Sisto, beat three FCK men on his own to double the league leaders’ advantage.

Bjorn Sigurdarson spurned the Lions’ best chance when he fired over Ludwig Augustinsson’s assist, while Steve De Ridder found the goalkeeper when through one-on-one in the first half.
