AaB were denied a rare victory as they conceded a second-half equaliser to Esbjerg today to finish all square at 1-1.

The SAS-Liga basement-dwellers led through Niklas Jensen's 25th-minute goal, but their hopes of a win that would move them off the foot of the table were dashed when substitute Jacob Ankersen levelled on the hour mark.

AaB at least move level on points with Randers, while Esbjerg are only a point from the foot of the table.
