On a cold winter evening in Aarhus, FC Midtjylland faced AGF in the first of two semifinal matches in the Danish Cup. The game was characterized by a tactical battle that yielded few clear chances, especially in the first half, where both teams struggled to find offensive sharpness on the challenging pitch. Despite the lack of goal-scoring opportunities, the match was highlighted by physical duels, which were a significant aspect of the encounter.

FCM managed to take the lead in this tight match through a dead ball situation, showcasing the importance of set pieces in closely contested games. A corner kick led to the only goal of the match when Han-Beom Lee found himself in the right position to score. This crucial goal provides FCM a slight advantage as they head into the return leg, set to be played in Herning on March 8, where they will aim to complete the job and secure their place in the cup final.

The victory places FCM in a favorable position, but the return match promises to be another battle, as AGF will aim to overturn the deficit on their home turf. As both teams prepare for this decisive second leg, the physicality and tactical awareness displayed in the first match will undoubtedly carry over, promising an exciting conclusion to this semifinal tie.
