Brøndby IF vs Odense BK was the club's opening match of the 2012-13 Danish Superliga season.

The Brøndby manager Auri Skarbalius chose to bench Michael Krohn-Dehli, because of an extended vacation following the UEFA Euro 2012 tournament.

Before kick-off, Kalilou Traoré was honored in celebration of his last game for OB, after which he would switch to FC Sochaux.

After halftime, OB's Marcus Pedersen received a red card and Izunna Uzochukwu was sent off the pitch after stepping on Krisztián Vadócz's shin.

The referee, Lars Christoffersen, added six minutes of overtime, during which Midtjylland scored a goal, ending the match with a tie.
