FC Midtjylland bounced back from their recent struggles, securing a 4-1 win over OB despite being reduced to 10 men. The Danish side dominated the first half, and 20 disastrous minutes for OB sealed their fate.

FC Midtjylland's win, achieved without coach Mike Tullberg who was ill, closes the gap to league leaders AGF to just 2 points.

The visitors began their first half goal show already after three minutes when Phillip Billing stole the ball from Adam Sorensen, drove into the box and slotted the ball coolly past Odense goalkeeper Viljar Myhra.

Just five minutes later, Tullberg's outfit doubled the lead when Junior Brumado scored the first goal of his hat trick as he converted a penalty after Nicolas Bürgy was adjudged to have handled the ball from a Midtjylland attempt on goal inside his own box. 

Brumado headed home Dario Osorio's delivery after 20 minutes, putting FC Midtjylland in control. OB tried to turn things around, with Alexander Zorniger bringing on Yaya Bojang, but it backfired as Brumado completed his hat-trick 6 minutes before halftime.

The hat-trick made it 4-0, and things looked bleak for OB. 

Much to the credit of the home side, they never gave up and were rewarded for their tenacity after around an hour's play when Jay-Roy Grot reduced the deficit when a fortunate delivery from Jona Niemiec fell at his feet.

OB had chances to bring further excitement into the game, especially after Martin Erlic was sent off with ten minutes to go for pulling down Niemiec as the last defender. However, the visitors managed to hold on to three vital points.
