Brondby secured a thrilling 2-1 victory over their arch-rivals FC Copenhagen, marking a triumphant start for new coach Steve Cooper. This win not only ended Brondby's three-match losing streak but also gave Cooper a perfect debut. The Welsh manager achieved what his predecessors Jesper Sorensen and Frederik Birk couldn't - beating FC Copenhagen.
Stijn Spierings scored the decisive goal in the match, which saw Brondby dominate despite the scoreline being locked at 1-1 for some time. Cooper's side showed resilience and determination, ultimately securing the win. This victory was Brondby's first win over FC Copenhagen at home since October 24, 2021.
This win was notable not only for the rivalry between the two teams but also because it ended a long drought for Brondby, with their last win at home against FC Copenhagen dating back to October 24, 2021. During that match, Niels Frederiksen was at the helm as head coach.

The recent match saw Stijn Spierings score a crucial goal, despite struggling to find his footing at Brondby. Interestingly, Spierings was given the nod over team captain Daniel Wass, who was left on the bench. This tactical decision seemed to pay off, contributing to Brondby's hard-fought victory.
Brondby took the lead just before halftime when Marcos Lopez inadvertently deflected a clearance from Michael Gregoritsch in the box, resulting in a penalty. Austrian international Gregoritsch converted the spot kick, sending the Brondby fans into raptures.
FC Copenhagen leveled the score in the 64th minute when Rodrigo Huescas delivered a precise cross to Mohamed Elyounoussi, who powered a header past Patrik Pentz. However, Brondby secured the win when Luis Binks headed a cross from Sean Klaiber to Stijn Spierings, who tapped the ball into the empty net for the decisive goal.
