Ashley Riefner doubled the lead for the visitors in the 27th minute.

A minute after the hour mark, Omewa set up Oda Sort who converted the third goal.

The former Confluence Queens forward saw 75 minutes of action and was replaced by Signe Christensen.

Fortuna Hjorring will next face KoldingQ on September 1, 2024, in another league match.
