Ghana U23 striker Mohammed Dauda was on the score sheet as Esbjerg succumbed to a 2-1 away defeat to SonderjyskE in the Danish Superliga on Sunday.
His second league goal of the season, the 21-year-old opened the scoring for the visitors but a late fightback by the hosts overturned the score at Haderslev Fodboldstadion.
The loss leaves Esbjerg second from bottom on the league table, three spots adrift of the matchday opponents.
Dauda opened the scoring for Esbjerg in just the sixth minute, 24 minutes before he picked up a yellow card for a foul.
