Match

OB tear Silkeborg apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Silkeborg, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

A brace, and Rasmus Falk takes the afternoon — 8.29

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Rasmus Falk provided it, and the 8.29 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

7 saves: Viljar Myhra was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Player ratings

Edmund Baidoo, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.94

A mark of 7.94 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Match

Nobody wants to play OB right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad

Real improvement from Julian Vitus Pedersen at OB

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Julian Vitus Pedersen is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Words exchanged at OB

Christian Makoun and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings

Jona Niemiec runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Ismahila Ouédraogo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

In brief
