on penalty the game ended 1–1. After the goal Nygaard was forced to leave the field due to an injury in his leg. However the injury was not as serious as feared. Following Nygaard success at club level he was on 31 October called in for the national team. After Randers skipper Ralf Pedersen had left the club to join Viborg FF Nygaard was selected as the new team captain.

He managed to score in seven successive matches thereby becoming top scorer along with OB striker Djiby Fall. Nygaard finished the season with a record of 26 matches played and 16 goals scored. Nygaard won the topscorer-prize beating his nearest rivals with one goal. His contract with Randers expired on 1 July 2010, and he became a free agent. In August 2010 he signed with German 3. Liga club SpVgg Unterhaching. Personal life Nygaard was born in Denmark to a Guyanese father and Danish mother.
