AGF and FC Copenhagen both secured their spots in the next round of the Danish Cup tournament on Wednesday evening. The matches saw some thrilling moments, including penalty decisions in extra time, which helped Esbjerg, Viborg, and Vejle advance to the 1/8-finals.

FC Copenhagen ended their losing streak with a convincing 4-1 victory over Hobro in the Danish Cup. Youssoufa Moukoko scored a hat-trick, leading his team to a comfortable win and boosting the team's morale after a series of poor performances.

Youssoufa Moukoko, the German super talent, finally showcased his goal-scoring instinct with a stunning hat-trick performance. After struggling to settle into Jacob Neestrup's team following his transfer from Borussia Dortmund, Moukoko proved his worth by netting three goals, securing his team's spot in the 1/8 final of the tournament.

The 20-year-old striker's first goal came in the 13th minute when he seized a sudden opportunity, collecting a loose ball on the edge of the box and slotting it past the goalkeeper. This marked a turning point in the match, as Moukoko's confidence grew, so did his impact on the game.

Moukoko's second goal was equally impressive, as he finished a cross from Viktor Dadason with precision, doubling the lead for his team. He completed his hat-trick with a beautifully struck shot from distance, curling the ball into the net via the post. These goals not only showcased Moukoko's skill but also highlighted his growing importance in the team.

Moukoko went on to score twice more, netting goals in the 48th and 59th minutes, with Viktor Claesson and Mads Emil Madsen setting him up for both. The visitors managed to reduce the deficit when Soren Andreasen scored in the final minute, but FC Copenhagen sealed the win when Viktor Claesson's teammate, Viktor Dadason, scored with just seconds left on the clock.

AGF got off to a flying start against Sønderjyske, with Norwegian playmaker Kristian Arnstad scoring a stunning long-range drive just two minutes into the game. However, the underdog Sønderjyske refused to back down, digging in and staying in the match despite AGF's early dominance. The home team had opportunities to extend their lead, with Henrik Dalsgaard and Rasmus Carstensen both coming close.

AGF's early surge didn't translate into a comfortable advantage, as Sønderjyske's resilience allowed them to stay in the game. Despite their chances, AGF struggled to double their lead, and Sønderjyske's determination kept them in contention.

The visitors staged a surprise comeback with about an hour left in the game when Magnus Jensen headed home a corner from almost the goal line, restoring parity. However, their joy was short-lived as Sonderjyske's Maxime Soulas received his second yellow card eight minutes later for pulling down Patrick Mortensen, leaving his team down to ten men.

AGF sensed their chance and pounced, launching a fierce attack on the Sønderjyske goal. Their persistence paid off in the 87th minute when Nicolai Flo parried a corner, and Patrick Mortensen pounced on the rebound, tapping the ball over the line to secure the win for the home side.

In the other matches of the 1/16-finals, Viborg and Fredericia went to penalties after Charly Nouck's late equalizer forced the game into extra time. Viborg showed composure in the penalty shootout, securing their spot in the next round.

Esbjerg and Randers couldn't be separated after 120 minutes, with the match going to penalties. Oliver Olsen's missed spot-kick proved costly for Randers, as Esbjerg capitalized on their chances to advance to the next round.

In a one-sided affair, Vejle BK thrashed IF Lyseng 4-0 away from home, booking their spot in the next round with ease.
