Silkeborg got the win 2-1. Callum came on alongside former Helsingør teammate Tonni Adamsen in the 69th minute with it still 1-1, replacing Søren Tengstedt in a wide position outside of league top-scorer Alexander Lind (who opened the scoring).
Wind was absolutely blowing, so a lot of the play was down one end of the pitch, with Silkeborg attacking that end in the second half. Bit of a storm over DK at the moment which has brought blæsevejret (literally 'the blowing weather'; gales and swells). Several times dead balls had to be reset due to the wind blowing the ball of the mark, with one free kick being retaken due to the ball moving when it was hit.
Callum came close on two occasions; in the 74th he had a shot from close-ish range from a cut back very well saved by the Hvidovre keeper (0.79 xGOT) who prevented it hitting the roof of the net. Adamsen then scored directly from the resulting corner, getting it up in the wind and curling it in wickedly. Not an actual assist, but he was the last Silkeborg player to play the ball before Adamsen's finish. McCowatt's second came from a Lind cutback from the left to just inside the box, where he swiveled and only narrowly missed the top far corner.
Job done on a cold, windy night south-west of Copenhagen, and Silkeborg go top of the Superliga, at least until Brøndby or FC København play.
Off the shin & then the post. Xmas came early. Great result for Silkeborg, a 2-0 win away. So they will be backing themselves to win the QF tie. 2nd leg this weekend at home.
McCowatt off at 69 mins (2-0). He's having a really good 2023. Both 2nd half of last season with Helsingor and now up in the Superliga with Silkeborg. 3 Superliga goals, plus another 3 in the Danish Cup. Found the net for AWs against Sweden as well. Return Cup tie this weekend then his own winter break.
McCowatt started and off at 65 mins (0-2), so the tie was 2-2 at that stage. Fortunately Silkeborg got the goal they wanted at 69 mins (finished 1-2) to get a 3-2 win on agg, and into Danish Cup semis.
It's now the winter break until mid Feb next year.
2 goals in pre season. Nicely taken goal the first one against KIK from Farore Islands. 2nd one against Elfsborg from Sweden's top flight. Superliga restarts next week. Silkeborg (4th) in a big game host FCK. McCowatt with a goal & Silkeborg with an upset win at FCK in early December.
