Aalborg BK rallied in the waning moments for a much-needed victory at Esbjerg, while Viborg suffered big with Robbie Russell on the pine.

--------------------------
AAB FIGHT BACK LATE
Danny Califf and Aalborg BK came from behind in the final minutes to grab a 2-1 victory, their second of the season, at Esbjerg Stadion on Sunday afternoon.

Njogu Demba-Nyrén rounded off the first half by giving the home side a well deserved lead with a flat shot from 25 yards in the 42nd minute.

The visitors kept fighting, and with five minutes left, a corner kick was sent into a crowd in front of the Esbjerg goal where Jesper Jørgensen touched it across his own line for the equalizer.

Three minutes later, Patrick Kristensen sent in a cross from the right and Rade Prica headed it into the top left corner for the winning goal.

With the win, Aalborg move into eighth place, one point behind FC Nordsjælland.
