The home team had a poor start to the match, with their defense appearing quite vulnerable in the early moments.
And the Danes were promptly punished after seven minutes, whenJamie McGrath capitalized on a direct free-kick from a tight angle, catching the keeper off guard Jonas Lössl, who managed to save the shot, but the ball had already crossed the line.
The goal energized the Danes, who applied pressure on the visiting team for much of the first half, but they lacked the composure to capitalize on their chances.
The attacking pair of Franculino and Adam Buksa both had opportunities to equalize but failed to find the necessary sharpness at crucial moments.
FC Midtjylland's Franculino had the best chance for the Danes during a counterattack but sent the ball over the bar from the edge of the box.

Just before the end of the half, Martin Boyle thought he had increased the lead for the Scots, but after a VAR review, the goal was disallowed for offside.
In the second half, the home team mounted a virtual siege on the Scottish goal but struggled to convert their dominance against a steadfast Scottish defense.
However, the Danes did manage to score a vital equalizer with about twenty minutes remaining from a set piece, when Aral Simsir curled the ball into the near corner beyond the reach of Hibs keeper Jordan Smith, silencing the away supporters.
With the Scots appearing fatigued, the Danes pushed forward for the crucial match-winning goal and created a great opportunity for Kevin Mbabu, but as he failed to take advantage of the golden chance, FC Midtjylland had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
