FC Midtjylland•DefenderAn enthralling Europa League encounter saw Brann snatch a dramatic point in the dying moments against FC Midtjylland in a six-goal thriller. Martin Erlić's early opener set the tone for the Danish visitors, but Noah Holm's swift response epitomized what would become a compelling back-and-forth battle. Midtjylland appeared to have secured victory through Júnior Brumado's strike and Erlić's second goal, only for substitute Joachim Soltvedt to emerge as Brann's hero with a crucial 90th-minute penalty conversion. The result maintains both teams' European ambitions while showcasing the unpredictable nature of continental competition.
Second-placed FC Midtjylland travel to Bergen as heavy favorites against struggling Brann in Europa League action. The Norwegian hosts haven't kept a clean sheet in six matches and sit bottom of the table, while the Danish side are riding high with 13 points from six games.
