Holbæk 2–1 IF Lyseng
Danish Division 3 Group A, 30 May 2026

Holbæk came from behind to secure a vital 2‑1 home win against IF Lyseng in Danish Division 3 Group A on Saturday. The result keeps Holbæk’s promotion play‑off push firmly on track, while IF Lyseng remain deep in relegation trouble.

Match overview

The game at Holbæk Stadion started brightly for the visitors. IF Lyseng took a shock lead in the 14th minute when forward Anders Karlsen latched onto a long ball and fired past Holbæk keeper Mads Lauritsen. The early goal silenced the home crowd and gave Lyseng hope of a vital away victory.

Holbæk’s response

Holbæk, however, responded with purpose. They equalised just before the half‑hour mark when a fine team move ended with midfielder Jonas Møller curling a shot into the top corner from the edge of the box. The goal galvanised the hosts, who began to dominate possession and create chances.

Match winner

The winning goal arrived early in the second half. A corner kick from the right was met by centre‑back Tobias Nielsen, whose powerful header found the net despite a touch from Lyseng goalkeeper Frederik Sørensen. Nielsen’s third goal of the season proved decisive, as Holbæk comfortably managed the remainder of the game, limiting Lyseng to long‑range efforts.

Standings context

With the win, Holbæk rise to third place in Danish Division 3 Group A, four points behind leaders Dalum IF but with a game in hand. The top team from the group earns automatic promotion to the Danish 2nd Division, while second and third enter the promotion play‑offs. For IF Lyseng, the defeat leaves them second from bottom, six points from safety with only four fixtures remaining. Their chances of avoiding relegation to the Denmark Series (fourth tier) are now very slim.

Looking forward

Holbæk travel to mid‑table Næsby next weekend, while IF Lyseng host leaders Dalum IF in a match that could confirm their relegation fate. The Danish Division 3 Group A title race and relegation battle are both coming down to the wire, making every match crucial.
