Odense moved four points clear of Copenhagen at the top of the SAS-Ligaen with a hard-fought victory over 10-man Koge tonight.

The visitors played the last 43 minutes with 10 men after the dismissal of Thomas Christensen, but it was not until the 83rd minute that Peter Utaka scored the only goal of the game.

Koge remain one place off the foot of the table, three points ahead of Randers FC.
