Match report
Midtjylland saw off Brøndby 4-1 in the Danish Superliga on Sunday at the MCH Arena. The result leaves the hosts second on 18 points from eight games, while Brøndby sit fifth with 13 points after four wins, one draw and three defeats.
Rasmus Kristensen opened the scoring in the first minute, and the momentum stayed with Midtjylland. Stanley Iheanacho's goal in the 23rd minute looked to be cancelled out by a VAR call on Friday Etim, but by then the Danish side had seen the decision overturned and were 2-0 up. Brøndby pulled one back through Max Isaac Ejdum in the 69th minute only for Cho Gue-sung to restore the two-goal cushion shortly after.
Things came to a head late on. Magnus Jensen added a fourth in the 89th minute, and moments later Bartosz Ślisz was shown a red card for Brøndby. The visitors had already seen three yellow cards, including one on Ejdum in the 73rd minute, and the dismissal felt like the final nail.
Midtjylland won the battle of shots, 5 on target compared to Brøndby's 4, but the visitors dominated possession at 56 per cent and completed 408 passes to the hosts' 308. Brøndby created no big chances while Midtjylland managed one, and the visitors' goalkeeper made zero saves all evening. The statistics tell a straightforward story: Brøndby controlled the ball but Midtjylland took their chances.
We had backed Brøndby to win at 38 per cent confidence, but the match went another way. Midtjylland's efficiency in the final third and the late red card combined to settle the contest before the visitors could mount a proper response.
