FC Midtjylland came from behind twice to earn a 2-2 draw against Nordsjælland in the Danish Superliga, with Martin Erlić heading home a late equaliser four minutes from time. The thing is, Midtjylland did enough to win this match. They just did not take their chances when it mattered.

FC Midtjylland came to Aarhus and did the basics better than AGF. Two goals, two shots on target that counted, and a clean sheet. That is what winning looks like.

Beşiktaş were two goals up inside twelve minutes and never looked back, controlling 77% of possession and generating 15 corners in a dominant Europa League qualifying display that Kauno Žalgiris had no structural answer to.

FC Midtjylland controlled this Conference League qualifier from the first whistle, scoring through a twentieth-minute header before a substitute struck two minutes into the second half to put the tie beyond Rijeka's reach.

Beşiktaş have conceded just once in five Europa League matches and now face their sternest test yet. Marseille arrive in Istanbul on Thursday night with a point to prove.

FC Midtjylland arrive in Odense as one of the Superliga's form sides, carrying ten points from four games, while a home side with just four points from five matches desperately needs a result on their own turf.

Brøndby IF travel to Herning sitting top of the Danish Superliga and unbeaten in five, but FC Midtjylland's home form and a familiar head-to-head pattern make this far from a straightforward afternoon for the visitors.
