Sonderjyske Edges Vejle BK W in Superliga Opener Behind Late Goal
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (Interstat) — Defender Daníel Leó Grétarsson scored in the third minute of second-half stoppage time to lift Sonderjyske to a 2-1 victory over Vejle BK W in a Danish Superliga match Sunday at Sydbank Park.
Sonderjyske’s Giorgi Tabatadze opened the scoring in the 25th minute but was sent off with a red card in the 37th. Vejle’s Mads Agger equalized just before halftime. Playing a man down, Sonderjyske secured the win with Grétarsson’s dramatic late header. The result defied a pregame projection that heavily favored Sonderjyske to win. Sonderjyske begins its season 1-0-0, while Vejle starts 0-1-0.
