Midtjylland secured the Danish Football Association (DBU) Cup title for the third time in its history, defeating Copenhagen 1-0 in the final held at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen on May 15. The victory marks Midtjylland's first cup win since the 2021-2022 season.
Lee Han-beom scored the winning goal with a header in the 82nd minute, contributing significantly to the team's success. He played the full match alongside fellow starter Cho Gyu-sung, who, while not scoring, was instrumental in pressuring the opposing defense throughout the game.
In earlier rounds of the DBU Cup, Lee also made notable contributions, scoring the decisive goal in the first leg of the semifinals and providing an assist in the second leg.
After the match, teammate Viktor Bæk Jensen praised Lee's performance, stating on the club's website, "Lee has been outstanding all season. He has consistently delivered impressive performances since the beginning of the season and has been incredibly reliable. He deserves immense praise."
Midtjylland's triumph adds to their previous cup victories in the 2018-2019 and 2021-2022 seasons, solidifying their status in Danish football.
