The Esbjerg Courier
Match21 Nov 2026
Esbjerg run riot against HB Køge
4‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

A brace, and Muamer Brajanac takes the afternoon — 8.90
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Muamer Brajanac provided it, and the 8.90 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Oskar Boesen, 21, 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 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

A falling-out at Esbjerg
Peter Langhoff and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
The terraces23 Nov 2026
One of their own: James Ampofo
He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

A masterclass from Peter Bjur
Marked 8.10 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

James Ampofo runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
The dugout23 Nov 2026
A satisfied Jonas Wind
“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 4‑0, Jonas Wind could afford to be generous.
The dugout23 Nov 2026
No hiding place for Benjamin Hvidt
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Benjamin Hvidt, and the manager let it.
