FC Copenhagen need just one point from their last five games to be crowned the Alka Superliga champions after Andrija Pavlovic scored a hat-trick to lead the Lions to victory over Lyngby.
Brøndby’s 1-1 draw with SønderjyskE on Sunday means FCK have a 15-point lead at the top of the table with five matches remaining.
Pavlovic put Ståle Solbakken’s men on the brink of the title with a fine display at Telia Parken on Sunday.
His first came on 51 minutes - the Serbian lashing home on the turn from the inside edge of the box after Lyngby failed to clear a corner.
Three minutes later and Pavlovic was celebrating his second of the afternoon with a similar left-footed drive from distance in front of Sektion 12.
And the striker made it three goals inside 12 minutes when he collected Youssef Toutouh’s low ball in from the left and fired high into the net.
Next up for FCK is a trip to FC Nordsjælland on Friday.
