Lyngby Boldklub threw away a certain victory against FC Nordsjælland with a dramatic second-half collapse. After leading 3-0 at home in the 11th round of the Superliga, the team conceded three goals in six minutes and ended up sharing the points in a 3-3 draw. This result confirms a worrying recent run of zero wins, two draws and three defeats in the last five matches, leaving the club in 12th place with just eight points from 11 games and a goal difference of minus nine.
The team had taken control of the match with a long-range strike from Simon Colyn after 17 minutes. Gustav Fraulo extended the lead, and when Frederik Gytkjær scored the third goal in the 61st minute, the win seemed secure. But FC Nordsjælland turned the game on its head. Justin Janssen, Runar Norheim and debutant Malte Heyde scored in quick succession from the 71st to the 77th minute to level at 3-3.
Goalkeeper Diego Kochen saved a penalty from Nicklas Røjkjær in the dying seconds to secure the point, after a goal from Alexander Lind had earlier been ruled out for offside.
The result means Lyngby now sit 12th in the Superliga with eight points from 11 games, having managed just one win and five draws in total. The team now trails league leaders FC Copenhagen by a significant 17 points. The team's next challenge is a difficult away fixture against FC Midtjylland on Saturday 25 October, with the opponents currently sitting in second place. With just one win this season and a form of two points from the last five matches, the squad faces a pressing task. Simon Colyn, who has scored four goals this season and is the team's top scorer, was on target again and remains one of the few bright spots. The team's squad must rediscover stability before meeting a Midtjylland side sitting in second place. This draw against FCN followed a 5-2 defeat to Brøndby, a 3-4 defeat to Hvidovre and a 0-4 defeat to Silkeborg.
