How it happened
AGF won 3-0 and had the match won before the break, even though Sønderjyske Fodbold had the better of the chances over 90 minutes.
Kristian Arnstad opened the scoring in the ninth minute. Serra doubled the lead in the 15th, and Frederik Tingager made it 3-0 in the 38th. That was the end of the scoring: the second half passed without a goal and without a red card.
Sønderjyske never found a way back. They put five of their 14 shots on target, and Jesper Hansen in the AGF goal made four saves.
