After a one year absence from the Danish Superliga, OB returned to the top flight of football in Denmark on Saturday.
Four rounds remain in the Nordic Bet league, but the team from Odense were already so far ahead in the standings that they only needed a draw at Hvidovre to secure their promotion.
Thanks to the draw, OB extended their points tally to 59 points and can no longer be caught by number three, AC Horsens, who has 46 points after losing the last two matches. Two sides will secure promotion to the Danish Superliga.
FC Fredericia is also in a favorable position in the hunt for promotion with its 53 points for one match less played.
As recently as five days ago, Hvidovre won at home over OB, and it could easily have gone that way again.
Hvidovre dominated proceedings for a long time and took the lead after 36 minutes thanks to a goal from Malte Kiilerich.
14 minutes from the end the visitors were cut down to ten men as Jeffrey Papayaw Adjei-Broni made his second bookable offence and this proved costly as OB equalized with ten minutes left from a header by leading goalscorer Luca Kjerrumgaard.
