Midtjylland's Cho Gue-sung Scores First Goal in 3 Matches, Leads Team to 12-Game Undefeated Streak

South Korean national team forward Cho Gue-sung, playing for FC Midtjylland in Denmark, has found the back of the net for the first time in three official matches, leading his team's undefeated run in the league.

Midtjylland secured a 3-2 victory against Lyngby BK in the 12th round of the 2026-2027 Danish Superliga home match held at the MCH Arena in Herning, Denmark, on October 25 (Korean time).

Extending their undefeated streak to 12 consecutive matches since the opening of the season (8 wins, 4 draws), including three straight wins in the league, Midtjylland accumulated 28 points to temporarily climb to the top of the 12-team table, surpassing FC Copenhagen (25 points), who have played one less game.

Cho Gue-sung contributed to the team's victory with the opening goal.

Starting as the central striker, Cho scored the opening goal in the 17th minute of the first time.

When a pass from Kiefer Bettien on the left side of the opponent's penalty area deflected off a defender and trickled to the left side of the goal area, Cho drove it into the net with a powerful left-footed turning shot.

With this, Cho tasted goals for the first time in three official matches since his equalizer in the 1st match of the 2026-2027 UEFA Conference League league phase against KF Egnatia (Albania) on October 16 (a 1-1 draw).

This marks his 2nd league goal and 5th official goal of the season.

Midtjylland conceded an equalizer to Simon Collinge in the 32nd minute of the first half, but finished the first half ahead 2-1 thanks to a penalty kick goal by Philip Billing in stoppage time.

Midtjylland further extended their lead in the 3rd minute of the second half with a goal by Friday Etim.

Cho played for 59 minutes and was substituted off in the 14th minute of the second half. Although Midtjylland conceded a goal to Gustav Fraulo in the 44th minute of the second half, they protected their lead until the end.

Midtjylland's Hong Hyun-seok came on as a substitute for Billing in the 28th minute of the second half and played until the final whistle, though he did not record an attacking point.
