KOLDING, Denmark (Interstat) — Substitute Théo Hansen scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner as Kolding IF rallied to defeat Hobro 2-1 in a Danish 2. Division match at Autocentralen Park on Friday.

The result, which defied pregame projections favoring the visitors, provided a vital boost to Kolding IF’s league campaign while extending Hobro’s winless streak.

The match began with immediate intensity, as Kolding IF midfielder Nemanja Nedić received a yellow card in the opening minute. A tense, physical first half yielded few clear chances, leaving the teams deadlocked at halftime.

The stalemate was broken seven minutes after the restart. Hobro’s Uładzisłaŭ Marozaŭ, the team’s forward, found the net in the 52nd minute to give the visiting side a 1-0 advantage. The goal seemed to set Hobro on course for a victory that statistical models had narrowly favored.

Kolding IF responded with resilience. Just 13 minutes later, the home side drew level. Nedić, having been cautioned early, provided a crucial assist, setting up Hansen for his first impactful contribution of the evening. Hansen’s 65th-minute finish made it 1-1 and reignited the contest.

As the match entered its final stages, Hobro substitute Zander Hyltoft was shown a yellow card in the 83rd minute, a sign of the mounting pressure. With the game appearing destined for a draw, a final twist arrived deep into added time.

In the third minute of stoppage time, Kolding IF secured a stunning victory. Defender Nebiyou Perry emerged as an unlikely hero, scoring the decisive goal to complete the comeback and send the home supporters into celebration. The 2-1 scoreline was finalized moments later.

The victory improves Kolding IF’s record in the 2. Division to eight wins, seven losses and five draws this season, strengthening their position in the table. Across all competitions, they now stand at eight wins, seven losses and seven draws.

For Hobro, the late defeat marks another frustrating result. Their league record fell to four wins, seven losses and six draws. Their overall record across all competitions is now 10 wins, nine losses and eight draws. The loss continues a trend for Hobro, which has now won just once in its last five matches across all competitions, a stretch including three draws and a loss prior to Friday.

The result also served as a measure of revenge for Kolding IF. The two sides last met on Sept. 28, 2025, playing to a 2-2 draw in Hobro.

Hobro will look to rebound on March 14 when it hosts Aalborg BK in league play. Kolding IF aims to build on this momentum when it travels to face Hvidovre on March 15.
