FCSB midfielder Florin Tanase put the hosts ahead within the opening 20 minutes in Bucharest.
And striker Daniel Birligea sealed the win after capitalising on a terrible kick-off error from Midtjylland.
The ball was passed back to goalkeeper Elias Rafn Olafsson from the centre-circle at the restart.
However, Olafsson’s attempted clearance was blocked by Birligea who ran straight through on goal.
The striker simply tapped the ball straight into an empty net from a few yards out.
Fans were left in disbelief, with one person taking to social media to write: “This might be the WORST kick-off in history…”
Another commented: “What coach actually gives the ok to starting the game like this? Madness.”
A third said: “Back to the goalie from kick off deserves this happening.”
