The Esbjerg Courier
Match7 Aug 2027
No end in sight to Esbjerg's wait for a win
7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Esbjerg has to find a result from somewhere.

Robby McCrorie keeps Esbjerg in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Ante Rebić in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Esbjerg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Mikail Maden signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Mikail Maden and Esbjerg agree another 4 years.

Jonathan Foss was immovable
19 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Words at Esbjerg training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Cantionilo is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Nobody could get near Marcus Hansen
Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Esbjerg and Brondby cancel each other out
Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Brondby came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Gustav Grubbe was immovable
9 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.
In brief
- Market Valdemar Hummelgaard leaves for nothing
- Market Oliver Obel leaves for nothing
