AGF secured their fifth consecutive win, moving into top spot in the Danish Superliga with a 2-1 victory over Viborg. A contingent of 1,400 AGF supporters cheered them on as they dominated the first half. Nicolai Poulsen scored the opening goal, tapping home from close range after Gift Links delivered a corner kick into a crowded box.

FC Midtjylland's troubles continued under new coach Mike Tullberg, who suffered a loss in his first match in charge. Midtjylland fell to a 1-0 defeat against FC Nordsjaelland at Farum. This result highlights Midtjylland's ongoing challenges, while AGF's winning streak propels them to the top of the Danish Superliga standings.

The visitors' joy was fleeting, as the home side equalized just three minutes later. Charly Nouck's shot was saved by AGF goalkeeper Jesper Hansen, but Thomas Jorgensen capitalized on the rebound, directing the ball into the net. The visitors regained the lead after 25 minutes with Kristian Arnstad converting a penalty kick, awarded when Tobias Bech's shot hit Jeppe Gronning's arm in the box.

Viborg managed to curb AGF's dominance in the second half. Despite their efforts, Viborg couldn't secure a point, and the visitors held on for a well-deserved win. The final score read Viborg FF 1, AGF Aarhus 2, with AGF ultimately prevailing.
