Saaby Fodbold 2-1 Tarnby FF: Late resilience earns home win

Saaby Fodbold secured a hard-earned 2-1 victory over Tarnby FF in the Danish 4th Division on August 29, 2026, producing a strong all-round display that was capped by a decisive late contribution. The hosts came from behind to take all three points in front of a lively home crowd at the Saaby Stadium.

An early setback and a quick response

Saaby made an energetic start but fell behind against the run of play in the 18th minute when Tarnby forward Emil Holm timed his run perfectly to volley in a cross from the right. The goal could have changed the course of the game, yet Saaby responded well. Just before the half-hour mark, a corner caused chaos in the Tarnby box, and captain Anders Sørensen was on hand to poke the ball home from close range and level the score.

Midfield control and a winning goal

The second half saw Saaby dominate possession without creating a flurry of clear chances. Tarnby remained dangerous on the break, but Saaby's midfield trio of Mikkel Bjerre, Jacob Lindberg and Christian Juul began to control the rhythm of the match. The winning goal came in the 72nd minute when substitute David Rasmussen finished neatly after being played through by a perfectly weighted pass from Lindberg. It was a well-worked team move and a goal worthy of settling any contest.

Defensive solidity and season context

After the second goal, Saaby defended with discipline and saw out the final 20 minutes without major scares. The win boosts Saaby's early-season campaign and keeps them in touch with the leading pack in the Danish 4th Division. Tarnby FF, meanwhile, will feel disappointed after letting a lead slip, though they showed enough to suggest they will pick up results as the season progresses.
