A tough start to the match for Helsingør, as Vendsyssel FF get off to the better start. It would take 3 minutes before Lucas Jensen receives the ball on the right wing and attempts a cross; the ball is deflected by Mouritsen and floats over Kevin and ends up in the net. 1-0 to Vendsyssel FF.
6 minutes after their first goal, Diego Montiel can strike as he receives the ball just outside the FCH penalty area, dribbles past a man and fires the ball into the opposite corner. 2-0 to Vendsyssel FF.
After a difficult start for FCH, the team wakes up to respond to Vendsyssel’s excellent start. 27 minutes into the first half, it is fine combinations in midfield that help Tonni Adamsen deliver a quality pass in behind to his attacking partner Sebastian Czajkowski, who rolls the ball between the Vendsyssel goalkeeper’s legs and into the goal. 2-1 goal for FC Helsingør.
After 39 minutes played, Sebastian Czajkowski takes matters into his own hands and dribbles his way to a shot that ends up in the opposite corner. 2-2 goal for FC Helsingør.
After an eventful first half, the second half offers a quiet spell, where both teams create several chances, however without success. Kevin Stuhr Ellegaard manages to keep a clean sheet in the second half and FCH have difficulty fighting their way through the Vendsyssel defense.
The match ends 2-2 and the points are shared.
Next match is played on Friday 29 October at 19, where we meet Lyngby BK away.
