Jeremiah White and Aarhus GF scored a shock 2-0 win over title contenders FC Midtjylland on Sunday to move clear of the relegation zone.

The American worked the first 78 minutes on the right side of midfield.

Peter Graulund saw an early header saved well by away keeper Martin Raska, who then stopped Jerry Lucena after a White set-up.

The teams played out a scoreless first half, with FCM's star left winger Simon Poulsen going closest by hitting the woodwork with a low effort.

AGF got on the board five minutes out of intermission when Anders Kure flicked on a corner kick for Graulund to hit his league-best 12th goal of the term.

The home side got an insurance tally near time as Simon Kjær turned a Jesper Blicher cross into his own net.

After the extended winter break, AGF hit the road to AC Horsens on March 16th.
