For the first time in 40 years, AGF can call themselves Danish football champions.
After a season in which Aarhus has been top of the table throughout the season, the icing was put on the cake at Brondby Stadium on Sunday evening.
AGF won 2-0 after two goals in the first half hour, and having accumulated 64 points, AGF can no longer be caught in the race for the Danish title.
With 60 points, FC Midtjylland have to settle for silver for the second successive season, but they get a chance to restore morale on Thursday in the Cup final.
Even before the game in Brondby, AGF received an unexpected gift when FC Midtjylland could only draw in Farum against FC Nordsjaelland. The result meant that AGF just needed to win one out of their remaining two games against Brondby and Viborg to secure the title.
With that ballast, AGF started on a bright note as a long-range shot from Gift Links tested keeper Patrick Pentz, and from the subsequent corner kick, Henrik Dalsgaard flicked the ball in to the back of the net with his knee.
AGF left more initiative to the home team after the opening goal, and Brondby came close to restoring parity a couple of times. The 17-year-old Raphael Canut, in particular, wasted a glorious chance. But Brondby were then made to pay for their wastefulness as midfielder Kevin Yakob searched into the box and found the far corner for a 2-0 lead after 25 minutes.
Brondby pressed on during the second half but couldn't find a way back against the Aarhus outfit.
