Lyngby Boldklub suffered a clear 5-2 defeat to Brøndby at Brøndby Stadion in Sunday's Superliga round. The loss is likely to send the team into a direct relegation spot once the rest of the round is completed.

The team started disastrously and were 3-0 down after just fifteen minutes. Jacob Ambæk scored twice for the hosts. Lyngby thought they had pulled one back to 1-1 through Frederik Gytkjær, but the goal was ruled out after a VAR review for a foul in the build-up.

In the second half, Brøndby made it 4-0 before Jens Jakob Thomasen finally got Lyngby on the scoresheet. Oskar Fenger made it 5-1, before American substitute Markus Anderson scored a late consolation for 5-2.

With just seven points from ten games, Lyngby now sit in a precarious 11th place. They have lost their last three league matches in a row, and their next task is a difficult home fixture against fourth-placed FC Nordsjaelland.

The defeat ended a brief positive run for the team, who must now regroup quickly to avoid being stuck at the bottom.

Lyngby now sit 11th with seven points from ten games.

The club, which is in 11th place with seven points, has now conceded 21 goals this season.
