FC Nordsjælland beat Silkeborg IF 1-0 in the Superliga, the scoreline flattering the visitors. Ibrahim Adel's 80th-minute goal settled a match his side controlled throughout.
Silkeborg kept Nordsjælland out until the 80th minute, when Ibrahim Adel scored from Peter Ankersen's assist to make it 1-0. The game had been goalless until then, with the hosts piling on pressure that went unrewarded.
