FARUM, Denmark (Interstat) — Nordsjaelland opened its 1. Division campaign with a 2-1 comeback victory over Brøndby IF on Tuesday at Right to Dream Park.

Brøndby’s Jacob Ambæk, a substitute, opened the scoring in first-half stoppage time. Nordsjaelland responded after the break, with Alexander Lind equalizing in the 59th minute. Midfielder Ibrahim Adel completed the turnaround with the 88th-minute winner for the hosts.

The result defied a pregame projection that heavily favored Nordsjaelland. The loss gives Brøndby an 0-1 start to the league season, while Nordsjaelland begins 1-0.
