Danish leader FC Copenhagen beats Odense 2-1

Substitute Morten Nordstrand scored in the 83rd minute to give Danish league leader FC Copenhagen a 2-1 comeback victory over Odense on Sunday.

Odense took the lead with a goal from Espen Ruud two minutes into the second half. But Canadian Atiba Hutchinson equalized just three minutes later with a shot from long range.

Nordstrand notched the winner with a powerful shot that flew in off the post.

Copenhagen, coming off a 2-0 loss against struggling Esbjerg a week ago, tops the standings with 46 points.

Brondby, which beat Randers 2-0 away Saturday, lies second on goal difference, while Odense stayed in third place with 41 points.

In other 21st round matches, it was: Esbjerg 1, Aarhus 0; Horsens 0, Vejle 0; and Nordsjalland 3, SonderjyskE 1.

On Monday, defending champions Aalborg hosts Midtjylland.
