Rexbye’s four goals power Odense Q W past BSF W
BALLERUP, Denmark (Interstat) — Camille Rexbye scored four goals and Mille Schjerbech Bech added another as Odense Q W defeated BSF W 5-1 on Wednesday in a global football match. Odense Q W set the tone early, scoring four times in the opening 13 minutes and never letting BSF W recover. Rexbye was the focal point of the attack, while Bech opened the scoring and Liv Rasmussen contributed an assist. BSF W got its lone goal from Signe Sonderup in the second half. Odense Q W improved to 1-0 in this competition and 3-1 across all competitions, while BSF W fell to 0-1 in the competition and 0-1 overall.
Bech put Odense Q W ahead in the fourth minute, finishing the first chance of a rapid attacking sequence. Rexbye then took over. She scored in the eighth minute, added another in the 10th and completed a first-half hat trick in the 13th, turning a promising start into a commanding lead. The goals came in a burst that left BSF W chasing the match almost from the opening whistle. Odense Q W’s pressure and movement created repeated chances, and Rexbye’s finishing made the visitors’ advantage decisive before the midway point of the first half.
BSF W tried to settle the match and had spells of possession, but scoring chances were limited against an Odense Q W side that protected its lead. The home team’s best moment came in the 66th minute, when Sonderup scored to cut the deficit to 4-1. Sonderup was a steady presence for BSF W and scored the team’s only goal. Any hope of a comeback was short-lived, though, as Odense Q W restored its four-goal cushion in the 78th minute when Rexbye scored her fourth of the game. Rexbye finished as the top star for Odense Q W, while Bech’s early goal and Rasmussen’s assist rounded out the visitors’ key contributions.
Discipline added to BSF W’s difficult afternoon. Odense Q W’s Friis A. received a yellow card in the 15th minute. BSF W then picked up three bookings: Belmadani F. in the 40th, Andersen M. in the 43rd and Hjelmso F. in the 53rd. The yellow cards interrupted BSF W’s efforts to build momentum and underlined the pressure the home side faced while trying to contain Odense Q W’s attack. Odense Q W managed the closing stages comfortably and closed out a victory that reflected its early dominance.
Substitutions reshaped both sides after the break. Odense Q W made two halftime substitutions involving Dahlmann E. and Bech M. BSF W also made a halftime substitution involving Stochkel E. BSF W then used Hansen J. and Andersen M. in the 57th minute, while Odense Q W made another change in the 69th minute. BSF W introduced Hillman M. and Sonderup D. in the 71st minute, and Odense Q W made its final change in the 77th minute. The adjustments allowed Odense Q W to maintain its shape and BSF W to rotate players as it searched for a way back into the match.
The result added to a strong recent run for Odense Q W, which had beaten FC Copenhagen W and Aarhus W and lost to Fortuna Hjorring W in its previous three matches across all competitions. Odense Q W’s season record in this competition is now 1-0, and its record across all competitions is now 3-1. BSF W’s season record in this competition is now 0-1, and its record across all competitions is now 0-1. The visitors’ ability to score early and often proved the difference, with Rexbye’s four-goal performance the defining individual display.
