How the winner came about
The match was scrappy in the opening exchanges, with both teams battling strongly in midfield. Sohus wanted to take the game to their visitors, but Vejle B were tactically astute, allowing the hosts to play in front of them before striking on the transition. The decisive goal arrived midway through the first half: a turnover deep in Sohus territory led to a quick move down the left wing, finished with a low, accurate shot into the corner from just inside the box. It was a moment of quality that rewarded Vejle B’s patience.
Sohus’s second-half response
Following the goal, Sohus increased their urgency, pushing more players forward and chasing an equaliser. Their best chance came shortly after the hour mark when a looping header forced a reflex save from the Vejle goalkeeper, who tipped the ball onto the crossbar. Vejle B absorbed the pressure well, making crucial blocks and clearances as the game entered its closing stages. Sohus had one final chance in stoppage time from a long-range strike, but it flashed wide of the post, sealing their fate.
