Soccer-Sisto edges Midtjylland close to Danish crown

COPENHAGEN, May 17 (Reuters) - FC Midtjylland winger Pione Sisto scored one goal and made another in a 2-0 home win over second placed FC Copenhagen that all but secured the Danish league title for his side.

Midtjylland now have a 12-point lead with four games left to play, and with a goal difference of plus 31, are 17 goals better off than nearest rivals Copenhagen.

Both sides had plenty of chances in an end-to-end clash, but it took until the 74th minute for the deadlock to be broken.

Sisto curled a cross over the defence and defender Andre Roemer was on hand to loop a header over Copenhagen keeper Stephan Andersen to give his side the lead.
