Youssef Toutouh continued his fine form with the only goal as FC Copenhagen edged Lyngby 1-0 on Saturday.
Toutouh broke free on 11 minutes and rounded the goalkeeper before squeezing the ball in from a tight angle through team-mate Rasmus Falk’s legs.
Falk himself blazed over eight minutes later as FCK sought to double their lead, while Matthias Zanka headed a Ludwig Augustinsson free-kick inches wide.
Only a fine save from Jesper Hansen denied Toutouh a second when the winger latched on to a long ball, before Andrija Pavlovic hit the post on a counter attack.
At the other end Kim Ojo squandered Lyngby’s best opening just six minutes in when he found the side netting in a one-on-one with Robin Olsen, while the goalkeeper got a strong palm to another of the striker's efforts before the break.
The win maintains FCK’s nine-point lead over the chasing pack in the Alka Superliga title race and came just four days after the goalless Champions League draw with Porto.
FCK host Viborg on Tuesday in Telia Parken seeking to maintain their winning form.
