Cho Gue-sung, the forward who recently boarded the Moreno ship, led his team to a resounding victory by notching his first multi-assist game of the season.
Midtjylland cruised to a 4-1 win over Brøndby in their home fixture of the 2026-27 Danish Superliga’s eighth round at MCH Arena in Herning, Denmark, on Tuesday.
Extending their unbeaten streak to eight games (5 wins, 3 draws), Midtjylland maintained their second-place position with 18 points, hot on the heels of league leaders Copenhagen (21 points).
Cho, deployed as a forward, showcased his playmaking skills with two pinpoint passes that resulted in goals for his team.
In the 23rd minute of the first half, Cho threaded a sublime through ball between a defender’s legs near the right side of the penalty area. Stanley Ihanacho latched onto it, finishing with a clinical right-footed shot. Initially ruled offside, the goal stood after a video assistant referee (VAR) review, crediting Cho with his first assist of the season and his maiden attacking contribution in the league.
Cho wasn’t done yet, as he added another assist in the second half. With Midtjylland clinging to a 2-1 lead in the 69th minute, he pounced on a loose ball in the center of the penalty area after it deflected off a defender. Cho’s powerful right-footed strike was redirected by Ihanacho into the net, completing his brace. This dynamic duo saw Cho rack up two assists in a single match.
With this performance, Cho Gue-sung has now tallied 2 goals and 2 assists in official matches this season. His goal-scoring prowess was evident in the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Conference League playoffs where he bagged a brace, while his playmaking skills shone through with two assists in the regular league.
Midtjylland set the tone early, with Rasmus Kristensen finding the back of the net just one minute into the match. The Cho-Ihanacho connection then added two more to the scoreline. Magnus Jensen put the icing on the cake with a goal in the 89th minute, sealing the emphatic victory.
In other news, Hong Hyun-seok, who recently joined Midtjylland on loan from Mainz (Germany), was left out of the matchday squad.
