FC Midtjylland's European aspirations suffered a setback on Saturday when they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Brondby.
Despite taking the lead through Thomas Roll Larsen's penalty on the half-hour mark, the hosts were pegged back by a Thomas Rasmussen equaliser after 57 minutes.
A red card for Ajilore Oluwafemi four minutes from time then ended Midtjylland's hopes of snatching a late win.
Midtjylland are second in Denmark's SAS-Ligaen, which would ensure UEFA Cup qualification for next season, but are just two points ahead of Odense BK, who can leapfrog them in the standings if they beat Silkeborg on Sunday.
FC Copenhagen have already clinched the title with four matches still remaining.
