FC Midtjylland could not turn 0-1 into further advancement in the Europa League qualification, as Besiktas visited MCH Arena on Thursday. The wolves were otherwise close to bringing themselves ahead several times in the course of the match, but in the second half, Martin Erlic received a red card, and it became a decisive factor. Thursday's match ended 2-0 to Besiktas, and FCM must therefore settle for Conference League qualification. Here, Bohemians FC or FC Ballkani await in the third qualifying round. Ufarlig or unlucky? Player from home team in focus. Last season's Superliga top scorer was very close to scoring two goals, but the post stood in the way both times. The question is whether the striker is just unlucky, or if he is unsharp at the moment. A mouthful Player from the away team in focus. If Besiktas striker Oh Hyeon-gyu looked familiar, it was because the South Korean met FCM in the last season's league phase in the Europa League, when the wolves met Genk. The striker was a big mouthful for FCM's defense in Thursday's match, and Martin Erlic had several times struggled to contain the aggressive South Korean. Besiktas star scored again against FCM Statistics in focus. Orkun Kökçü does well when he meets FC Midtjylland. The Turkish midfielder has now been in action against the wolves four times, and three times he has now scored against the Midtjylland players. In total, the Besiktas star is noted for 12 scorings in 43 games for Besiktas. FCM has a big problem Coach in focus. Again, FC Midtjylland received a stupid red card, which became decisive, and it is becoming a big problem for Mike Tullberg. In the last season, the wolves received five red cards and 68 warnings in Superligaen, which made the team top the list. Now, the problem continues in Europe, and it costs a lot for FCM, who must now settle for a place in Conference League qualification. FC Midtjylland now stands 1st in Superligaen with 3 points after the first round, where they have won all their matches. They have scored 3 goals and conceded 2. Their next match is against Lyngby on August 16.
