In the 48th minute, Odense Boldklub extended their lead with a header from Luca Kjerrumgaard, who found the bottom right corner from the right side of the six-yard box. Owusu's contribution to the goal was significant, as he provided the assist with a well-placed cross.
Hvidovre managed to pull one back in the 81st minute, with Hvidovre's Lirim Qamili converting the penalty with a left-footed shot to the bottom right corner. However, Odense BK held on to their lead and secured the three points.
