Nuamah inspires comeback win

Viborg managed to break the deadlock early on through Sondergaard, but Nordsjaelland's teenage prodigy, Nuamah swiftly responded, equalizing just before the half-hour mark.

He then showcased his skills in the box with a vintage goal, expertly set up by his Ghanaian compatriot, Ibrahim Osman, right before halftime.

The 19-year-old, whose talents have captured the attention of French champions PSG, rounded off his impressive performance with a top-notch goal, securing a hard-earned victory on the Danish top-flight's opening day.
