"A lot of things of value have been stolen -- phones, car keys and so on," Midtjylland's sporting director Claus Steinlein told sports website tipsbladet.dk, whose reporter at the match said that players were "furious" at the security lapse.

Steinlein added that police had been called to investigate the thefts.

Top-flight side Midtjylland, who have the same owner, Matthew Benham, as English Championship side Brentford, won the Danish Cup tie against their second-tier opponents in south-eastern Copenhagen 3-1.
