Emmanuel Dennis was heavily involved as Brøndby IF confirmed their place in the Danish Superliga Championship play-offs despite a frustrating goalless draw against Sønderjyske.
The Nigerian forward put in another solid shift at Brøndby Stadium, but the result stretched the club’s winless run to seven matches.
Emmanuel Dennis Shines Despite Brøndby’s Seven-Game Drought
Making his third appearance since joining the Danish side, Dennis continues to build rhythm after a lengthy spell without a club.
While Brøndby failed to claim maximum points, the Super Eagles forward showed flashes of quality and growing sharpness.
Dennis has now logged 202 minutes across three outings. However, the results have not followed.
Brøndby have recorded two draws and one defeat in the matches he has featured, highlighting the team’s struggle for consistency in the closing stretch of the regular season.
The 28-year-old came closest to breaking the deadlock shortly after the restart. He unleashed a powerful long-range strike that seemed destined for the corner, only for Sønderjyske goalkeeper Marcus Bundgaard to produce a fine save.
It was one of the clearest openings in a tightly contested encounter.
Brøndby were tested at the other end as well, but goalkeeper Patrick Pentz made a crucial stop to keep the score level. Despite late pressure from the home side, neither team found the breakthrough.
Late Injury Blow for Emmanuel Dennis Before Superliga Split
There was late concern for Dennis in the 89th minute when he picked up a knock and had to be replaced by Viggo Poulsen.
The club has yet to provide an official update on the extent of the injury, raising doubts over his availability for the final regular-season fixture.
The forward’s involvement remains key as Brøndby prepare to face FC Midtjylland at MCH Arena.
With the Danish Superliga heading into the Championship round, every detail matters for a side currently sitting third in the standings.
Although the stalemate extended their winless run, the single point proved enough to secure a play-off berth.
That achievement offers a positive backdrop as Emmanuel Dennis works toward full fitness and sharper form.
Another Nigerian, Ebube Duru, also featured in the contest, coming off the bench for Sønderjyske in the second half.
For now, attention will be on the fitness of Dennis and whether he can play a leading role in Brøndby’s push during the decisive phase of the season.
