Match Highlights and Key Players
The hosts opened the scoring just seven minutes into the game. Debutant Jacob Ambæk made a significant impact by cutting in from the left, forcing a save that led to Sho Fukuda reacting quickly to tap in the rebound, making it 1-0.
However, OB managed to equalize around the half-hour mark. Noah Ganaus outmuscled Brøndby defender Frederik Alves and finished confidently past goalkeeper Patrick Pentz to level the score at 1-1. This moment of resilience from OB was short-lived, as Brøndby quickly restored their lead. A long throw from Sean Klaiber found Nicolai Vallys, who expertly headed in to make it 2-1.
As the first half was drawing to a close, a VAR review resulted in a penalty for Brøndby after a foul on captain Daniel Wass. Wass converted the penalty, sending Brøndby into halftime with a 3-1 advantage.
The second half saw Brøndby continue their dominance. Just minutes after the restart, Vallys collected a pass on the left side of the area and scored his second goal of the match, extending the lead to 4-1. This goal was the result of excellent build-up play involving Ambæk and Noah Nartey.
Ambæk continued to be a key player for Brøndby, later dribbling through the box and hitting the post. The rebound fell perfectly for Nartey, who made no mistake in finishing it off for a final score of 5-1. The last 25 minutes of the match saw both teams create half-chances, but no additional goals were scored.
