FC Midtjylland books Danish Cup final spot with 1-1 draw against AGF, winning 2-1 on aggregate...

FC Midtjylland secured their spot in the Danish Cup final with a 1-1 draw against AGF, following their 1-0 win in the first leg. The home side, AGF, dominated much of the game but couldn't break through Midtjylland's defense.

The aggregate win was a fair result, with Midtjylland's experience paying off. They'll face the winner of Brøndby IF and Silkeborg IF in the final. 

After a shot on the post in the early parts of the game from Rasmus Carstensen, AGF struggled to handle the home team's energetic pressure.

The visitors made a series of errors in their build-up that could have proved costly, and FC Midtjylland wasted several opportunities to put themselves in front.

Turkish international playmaker Aral Simsir came close when he hit the woodwork after AGF goalkeeper Jesper Hansen had kicked the ball straight into the feet of an opponent.

The Midtjylland pressure on the ball continued after the break, but AGF still managed to take the lead after a little more than an hour.

Jesper Hansen's long pass was flicked on by Janni Serra to Kristian Arnstad, who delivered a perfect ball for Tobias Bech to score with a low drive, beating Elias Olafsson in the Midtjylland goal. 

AGF held onto their lead for about 10 minutes until Han-Beom Lee's long throw was flicked on by Brumado, who equalized with a powerful volley into the far corner. Patrick Mortensen, who was slightly injured, replaced Serra up front and had a great chance to keep his team alive 8 minutes before time.

Kevin Yakob delivered a superb ball across the face of the goal, where Mortensen arrived at the back post, but when it seemed easier to score, Mortensen had a poor touch and missed the open net to the astonishment of the travelling away supporters.
