Matches

Round 1: Brøndby IF vs OB

Brøndby IF vs Odense BK was the club's opening match of the 2012-13 Danish Superliga season. The match was played at Brøndby Stadium, with a very low attendance from the home crowd. The Brøndby manager Auri Skarbalius chose to bench Michael Krohn-Dehli, because of an extended vacation following the UEFA Euro 2012 tournament.^[1] OB took the lead after 17 minutes with a goal by Jacob Schoop, which was his first goal with the club. Brøndby created more opportunities to score in the second half, and after 78 minutes Clarence Goodson scored, but the referee Lars Christoffersen cancelled the goal because Goodson pushed Daniel Høegh in the back. OB won the opening match 1–0.
