Cho Gue-sung Starts and Hong Hyun-seok Benched as Midtjylland Draw with Nordsjælland

Danish professional football club Midtjylland, featuring national team attacking resources Cho Gue-sung and Hong Hyun-seok, extended their unbeaten run to seven matches from the start of the season after a hard-fought draw against Nordsjælland.

Midtjylland tied 2-2 in their home match against Nordsjælland in the 7th round of the 2026-2027 Danish Superliga held at the MCH Arena in Herning, Denmark.

With this draw, Midtjylland recorded 4 wins and 3 draws over the first 7 matches of the season, maintaining their second-place position in the league behind leaders FC Copenhagen.

Midtjylland forward Cho Gue-sung started as a twin-striker in a 4-3-1-2 formation, playing 65 minutes until the 20th minute of the second half, attempting 3 shots but failing to record an attacking point.

Cho has not scored in the regular league this season, but has 2 goals to his name after scoring consecutive goals in both the first and second legs of the 2026-2027 UEFA Conference League (UECL) playoffs.

On the other hand, attacking midfielder Hong Hyun-seok, who began a one-year loan spell at Midtjylland, was included in the substitute squad but did not play.
