Midtjylland convincingly defeated Sonderjyske 6-2 in the Danish Superliga as they prepared for the second leg of their Europa League qualifying tie against Hibs on Thursday.
Goals from Adam Gabriel, Valdemar Andreasen, and Mads Bech Sorensen, along with a stunning hat-trick from Franculino Dju, propelled Midtjylland to a resounding victory, securing three vital points that boost them to third place in the table after just two rounds of fixtures.
However, the scoreline doesn’t tell the whole story. Sonderjyske posed a significant threat, registering 20 shots at goal—only one fewer than their opponents—indicating that the match was anything but a walk in the park for Thomas Thomasberg’s squad.
In their last outing, the Danes battled to a thrilling 1-1 draw against Hibs in Herning, where Aral Simsir’s equalizer countered Jamie McGrath’s early strike.
The upcoming clash at Easter Road promises to be intense, with the winner progressing to face Fredrikstad of Norway.
