Sports Calendar: Last chance saloon for a cup upset

The Copenhagen Post

Mar 8, 2016

One of the greatest things about sports is that anyone can win on any given day. And everyone loves a good underdog story.

So if you’re looking for an opportunity to witness a potential upset in the making, watch second tier outfit FC Roskilde take on Superliga powerhouse AaB Aalborg on Tuesday evening in the quarter-finals of the Danish Cup.

The match kicks off at Roskilde Idrætspark at 17:45 and will most probably be the last and best chance to see an upset in this year’s cup.

Remember Skagen, Peter?
The biggest cup upset in recent Danish history took place in 1987 when a star-studded Brøndby side, which included legendary keeper Peter Schmeichel, lost at home after a penalty shootout to the fifth-tier amateurs Skagen (Schmeichel even scored one of the penalties).

In 2008, fourth-tier outfit FC Nordvest knocked out Superliga sides SønderjyskE and AC Horsens on their way to the semis.

The other quarter-finals are SønderjyskE vs Aarhus, Skive vs Brøndby and FC Copenhagen vs Randers.
