Torn apart
The visitors scored three times in the final eight minutes as Akademisk were torn apart. Having registered a minute into the second half, Berg wrapped up the points with goals on 83 and 90 minutes while Jesper Christiansen also netted.
Hard-fought win
FC København earned a narrow 3-2 victory over promoted Farum to go second. The visitors were poised for a shock win with a two-goal advantage with two minutes to play. But Thomas Røll equalised in the 88th minute and Danish international Peter Møller hit a dramatic winner.
Woeful Brøndby
Brøndby IF's woeful start to their title defence continued on Saturday as they lost 3-1 to Aalborg BK. It was their second defeat in three games. Aalborg left it late, but two goals in the last six minutes sealed the home success.
Køge make history
Elsewhere, Køge BK claimed their first-ever Superligaen win as they triumphed 4-3 at Esbjerg fB. Honours were even in the derby between Viborg FF and FC Midtjylland, with Lasse Sall cancelling out Søren Frederiksen's opener for the hosts.
Silkeborg cheer
Silkeborg IF finally gave their supporters something to cheer after securing a 1-0 victory over AGF Åarhus which saw them climb off the bottom of the table. AGF keeper Erik Boye had frustrated the hosts until Mikkel Lindorff broke through in the 86th minute for Silkeborg's first win of the season.
