Late Horsens comeback deny reigning Danish champions first Superliga win

[p]Reigning Danish champions AGF were 90 seconds from securing their first Superliga win of the season, but—as has happened so often before—luck was not on the side of the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/aarhus/OOXnKGbO/"]Aarhus[/a] outfit.[/p][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/horsens/WIOwwITb/"]AC Horsens[/a] scored twice in the dying minutes to salvage a 2-2 draw at home, leaving AGF to head into the international break as the only team in the league yet to win a match.[/p][p]AGF had appeared to be in control following goals from [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/knudsen-magnus/pxVxwmy3/"]Magnus Knudsen[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/mccowatt-callum/b3ByUPYq/"]Callum McCowatt[/a] but failed to hold firm when it mattered most. AGF sit in 11th place, while Horsens just barely squeeze into the top six.[/p][p]The defending champions' defensive play has been shaky of late, and trouble arose in front of the Aarhus goal early on once again. [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/ehibhaimha-kelvin/8tK5EH5T/"]Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan[/a] found himself with a golden opportunity but fired a low shot wide of the far post.[/p][p]Clinical finishing was generally in short supply in Horsens, though AGF gradually took the initiative and created several decent chances. Two of those fell to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/anderson-mikael/fDV6KqqB/"]Mikael Anderson[/a], who failed to hit the target with either his right foot or his head.[/p][image alt="AC Horsens - AGF - Match momentum" id="2d404988-8452-4923-a38e-e18cd95d800c" credit-line="Flashscore" guid="50b67782-fca2-49ed-a31e-23c00906bbaa" original-width="2160" original-height="2700" /][p]Luck was in short supply—symptomatic of AGF's season so far. It was missing again when Tobias Bech fired a shot wide shortly after the break; last season, he would almost certainly have scored in a similar situation.[/p][p]But then, the tide turned. Just before the hour mark, Magnus Knudsen hammered the ball home from long range, blasting the visitors into a 1-0 lead following a couple of shaky clearance attempts by the home side.[/p][p]AGF players and coaches roared with delight, and ten minutes later, there was more cause for celebration. Substitute Callum McCowatt was quick to latch onto a long goal kick from Mads Hedenstad, and the New Zealander's somewhat tame finish was enough to beat Matej Delac.[/p][p]Horsens saw more of the ball, but AGF remained solid in defense and appeared to have things under control—at least until Jakob Bonde headed in a looping ball with two minutes remaining.[/p][p]This set up a nail-biting finish, and in one of the match's final sequences, a free kick from Ivan Milicevic sailed all the way into the net at the far post.[/p]
