FC Copenhagen extended their lead in the Alka Superliga to nine points with a hard-fought away win in Aalborg on Friday.
The Lions took the lead early on when Thomas Delaney got a free run on a Ludwig Augustinsson corner to head home.
And Rasmus Falk made it 2-0 before half time when controlling a long ball forward and swiping into the bottom-right corner.
AaB pulled one back in bizarre fashion when a Kasper Risgård shot was eventually knocked forward to Frederik Børsting, who was stood in an office position. But the ball had come off an FCK leg, leaving Børsting free to slip the ball past Robin Olsen to halve the deficit.
Olsen also denied Rigård with a fine first-half block, while Delaney had a header palmed away before crushing an effort off the crossbar midway through the second half.
The win moves Ståle Solbakken’s men nine points clear of the chasing pack in the Alka Superiga, with attention now turing towards Tuesday’s Champions League game against Porto.
One blow for FCK is the fitness of Andreas Cornelius, who pulled up when chasing a first-half through ball and immediately signalled to the bench to come off.
