Lyngby Boldklub secured their first win of the 2026 season with a 2-1 victory over AC Horsens in the fifth round of the 3F Superligaen. The match took place at CASA Arena Horsens, where the home side took an early lead, but Lyngby responded with two goals before halftime to turn the game around.
Jordan Larsson, the former FC Copenhagen player, was involved in both Lyngby goals and delivered a strong performance despite public criticism surrounding his exit from FCK. Larsson stated directly: "en række personer har forsøgt at skade hans omdømme" regarding the circumstances of his departure from the Copenhagen club. He emphasized that his full focus is now on performing for Lyngby Boldklub.
Lyngby trailed 0-1 after an early Horsens goal, but Larsson equalized to 1-1 with a precise finish following a counterattack. Before the break, he scored again from the rebound of a long-range effort, giving Lyngby a 2-1 lead that they held until the final whistle.
The defensive unit was well-organized and worked hard, especially after halftime when Horsens pushed for an equalizer. Lyngby’s goalkeeper made several crucial saves in the closing minutes to preserve the three points.
The win moves Lyngby Boldklub forward in their season start, now with three points from five matches. The team currently sits 10th in the Superliga with 18 points from 22 games in the concluded 2024 table, before the new season has fully taken shape. With 15 goals scored and 26 conceded, they hold a goal difference of -11.
