BIF Cup Semi Final 1:
Brøndby – FC Barcelona 1-0 / (0-0)
Brøndby opened the new season against mighty Barcelona and once again made headlines. After a goalless first half Brøndby took the lead after 58minuts play when Baca goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand fumbled a cross from Morten Skoubo over the line for an own goal. In the remaining half hour Barcelona presses on to get the equalizing goal with Brøndby being dangerous on counterattacks. Barcelona never got the goal and Brøndby is now ready for the final in the 3rd BIF Cup. It has to be mentioned that Barcelona rested some of their biggest stars in this game and only played them for 45 minutes. That don’t take anything away from Brøndbys win and they also won the shots stats 14-8.
Brøndby Game MVP: GK Karim Zaza (rating: 8)
