it seemed that Sonderjyske had saved their life in the Superliga but AaB struck back and secured a 2-2 draw which could prove very important in their efforts to escape relegation In fact, throughout the second half with the score locked at 1-1, AaB looked like a team that could easily win the game, but Kristoffer Wichmann's troops wasted a host of great chances Sonderjyske took advantage of the visitors' lack of goal instinct and made it 2-1, before Mathias Jorgensen saved the day for AaB with a stinging long-range effort AaB, however, seemed completely paralyzed in the beginning of the match, and were punished after nine minutes when Mads Agger finished off a quick counter-attack to give the home side the lead Sonderjyske - AaB - Player ratingsFlashareIn the last 15 minutes of the first half AaB gradually started to find their feet again and carried their momentum into the second half where they equalized after four minutes of play Melker Widell was put put clean through in the box to restore parity and silence the home crowd AaB upped the pressure looking for more and Oliver Ross was guilty of missing a huge chance when he struck the woodwork with the goal at his mercy But as AaB failed to take advantage of their dominance when Ivan Djantou scored on his first touch following a corner didn't cave in and with three minutes to go Mathias Jorgensen scored a terrific long-range goal AaB and Lyngby have the same number of points with three matches left to play but Lyngby have superior goal difference which currently leaves them out of the relegation zone Arnaud De Lie outsprinted but stays in race lead after breakaway comes achingly close to a win In third place was fellow Dane and stage 2 winner Magnus Cort (Uno-X Mobility) sprinting from the peloton after reeling in the day’s break less than 1.5km from the finish line De Lie holds five seconds over Cort after today’s time bonuses as the race enters the penultimate stage on Saturday from Store Heddinge to Holbæk Results powered by FirstCycling The latest race content, interviews, features, reviews and expert buying guides, direct to your inbox!

Erlev School is a pioneering project with strong ambitions for the Danish city of Haderslev It is the first “new-generation” timber school located in Denmark and one of the very first of its kind in Scandinavia the school won the national award "Best School Building of the Year 2021" Erlev school is, in many ways, unique in its appearance. From the start, the project focused on achieving a high level of social, economic, and environmental sustainability. The City of Haderslev had a clear ambition to push the boundaries of traditional school architecture. This inspired the architects to create a project where design, construction, and materials were experimented with in new ways. © Niels NygaardThe load-bearing structure of the school is made of cross-laminated timber (CLT), a material that creates a visually attractive building and emphasizes environmental values. Through timber, the sensory experience becomes stronger; the scent, feeling, and sound of this material create an environment that comes alive through warm and visually interesting surfaces.  © Niels NygaardThe school and adjacent premises have an area of around 5.800 square meters, serving 500 pupils in the municipality of Haderslev.
