Sofus Johannesen seeks breakthrough in FC Midtjylland Sofus Johannesen scored his first goal for FC Midtjylland in a 3-2 win over Irish Bohemians in the Conference League qualification. He took the ball from Franculino in the box and hit it. - It was huge. Especially down in front of all the fans. It's something I've been dreaming about since I came to the club, so it was wild for me, says Johannesen. ## What's next? There are still a few weeks left in the transfer window, and new players can come in, which will limit Johannesen's chances of playing time. But according to head coach Mike Tullberg, it's clear that the teenager will stay in the club after doing well in the start of the season. ## What does it mean for FC Midtjylland? Johannesen is trained as a central midfielder, but in Fredericia, he was primarily a winger, and it's possible that he will have to fight for playing time in FCM. He started against Bohemians on the central midfield, but changed to the left wingback in the first half with Valdemar Byskov. - There's no doubt that he played much better on the side than he did centrally, says Tullberg about the young talent. ## FC Midtjylland's current form FC Midtjylland is in 3rd place in the Superliga with 7 points after 3 games. They have won 2 games and drawn 1. Their last results are Lyngby 1-1 FC Midtjylland (2026-08-16) and they have a recent form of 0W-3D-2L (DLLDD). Their next game is against Aarhus (away, 2026-09-02).
