Cho Gyu-seong, multi-assist performance... Midtjylland leads undefeated streak in opening 8 games

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Young-ho = National soccer team striker Cho Kyu-seong (Midtjylland), who boarded the '1st Moreno', performed a one-man show by providing two assists, leading his team to an undefeated streak of eight consecutive opening games.

Midtjylland won 4-1 in the 8th round home game of the 2026-2027 Danish Superliga against Bronnby held at the MCH Arena in Herning, Denmark on the 15th (Korean time).

Midtjylland (18 points), which went undefeated in the opening 8 games (5 wins, 3 draws), maintained second place by putting pressure on leader Copenhagen (7 wins, 1 loss, 21 points) by 3 points. They are one point behind 3rd place Nordsjaelland (5 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss, 17 points).

Cho Gyu-seong started as an attacking midfielder for Midtjylland, which used the 3-4-1-2 tactic, and Hong Hyun-seok, who recently joined on loan, was omitted from the list.

Midtjylland took the lead with Ramus Christensen's early goal in the first minute of the first half.

Midtjylland, which continued its offensive, scored in the 20th minute of the first half when Cho Gyu-sung dropped the goalkeeper's goal kick with a backheader in the opponent's midfield, and striker Friday Etim rushed in and succeeded in scoring.

However, as a result of video review (VAR), offside was declared and the goal was canceled.

Midtjylland, which continued its offensive, succeeded in scoring in the 23rd minute of the first half, and this time, Cho Kyu-sung's amazing penetration pass shines.

Cho Kyu-sung, who received a pass from midfield, stabbed the ball through the crotch of opposing defender Jordi Vanloverhe in front of the right side of the penalty area, and Stanley Lee Hana-cho followed suit and hit the net with a right-footed shot.

This time, the assistant referee's offside flag was raised, but the VAR result changed it to onside, and Cho Kyu-sung completed his first assist of the season.

Midtjylland, which finished the first half 2-0, allowed a chasing goal in the 24th minute of the second half and was under pressure at 2-1.

However, Jo Gyu-seong stepped forward to solve the problem.

When a cross from the left side hit the opposing defender and flowed out into the front of the penalty area, Cho Gyu-seong quickly rushed forward and hit a powerful right-footed shot.

Cho Kyu-seong's shot went to the right corner of the goal, and Inahacho, who was in front of the goal, slightly changed direction with his right foot and scored a key goal.

Inahacho scored multiple goals, and Cho Kyu-seong completed a ‘multi-assist’ that helped all of Inahacho’s scores.

Cho Gyu-seong accumulated 2 goals and 2 assists in official games this season (2 goals in the UECL playoffs and 2 assists in the regular league).

Midtjylland completed a 4-1 win with Magnus Jensen scoring in the 44th minute of the second half.
