Billing's sending off turns the tide as Sonderjyske stun FC Midtjylland. Lirim Qamili's last-gasp penalty secured a 2-1 win for Sonderjyske, snapping FC Midtjylland's 13-match unbeaten streak.

FC Midtjylland's chance to reclaim top spot in the Danish Superliga was foiled, with AGF overtaking them after their win over Silkeborg. The loss is a blow to Mike Tullberg's men, who were looking to get back on top.

FCM sits in second place with 32 points, while Sonderjyske's impressive run has pushed them up to fifth with 25 points.

Sonderjyske didn't seem fazed by FCM's unbeaten streak, which had stretched to over two months. The match started slowly, but the visitors took the lead through Aral Simsir's clinical finish. He drove the ball across the pitch and unleashed a flat, stinging drive into the far corner, leaving the FCM goalkeeper no chance.

FC Midtjylland thought they were heading for a comfortable draw, but Sonderjyske had other plans. Kristall Mani Ingason scored a stunning equalizer, carrying the ball into the box and hammering it home after great work from Alexander Lyng.

The game turned in the dying minutes, with Billing getting a second yellow card for a reckless challenge on Olti Hyseni. Mike Tullberg was furious, but it gave Sonderjyske the man advantage and they capitalized on it.

Sonderjyske seized the opportunity, and Lirim Qamili converted a penalty in injury time to secure the dramatic 2-1 win. The VAR had a say, but Qamili was clinical when it mattered.

Meanwhile, in Farum, Fredericia suffered a thumping 5-0 defeat to FC Nordsjaelland. Levy Nene and Justin Janssen were the stars of the show, but Norwegian midfielder Runar Norheim capped off a great day for Jens Fonsskov Olsen's side with the fifth goal, nine minutes from the end.
