In this week 2 match on Jul 30th, Silkeborg will travel to Herning to battle Midtjylland in a meeting of these two mismatched Superliga teams. Midtjylland sits at 4th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Hvidovre. Cho Kyu-Sung struck first for Midtjylland in the 56th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Hvidovre couldn’t muster any offence and Midtjylland ran away with the shutout win. Midtjylland is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches, while 10th placed Silkeborg is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Brøndby. Tonni Adamsen scored the first goal for Silkeborg in the 5th minute, then Nicolai F Vallys tied it up for Brøndby in the 16th minute on a feed from Kvistgaarden Finally they completed the comback victory in the 64th minute on a goal by Hakon Evjen to cap off a wild match.
