It might not be much consolation for a striker who was part of a front trio blasted by Steven Gerrard or a defence criticised by pundits for conceding from a set-piece yet again.
But the Danish media appeared to take a slightly different view when it came to assessing Brondby’s 1-1 draw against Rangers in the Europa League.
Gerrard was forced to hook his ineffective frontmen in Copenhagen, later admitting he might have got it wrong by selecting them in the first place.
Alfredo Morelos was included in that yet newspaper B.T. Metro said: “Most dangerous man for the Scots was the Colombian striker Alfredo Morelos, who shot several times.”
To be fair the South American had a header ruled out after the ball from James Tavernier’s corner had crossed the line.
He had another effort from long range but it was always going wide before a Leon Balogun own goal on the stroke of half time changed the game.
Rangers rearguard hasn’t been anything like as solid as it was last season and have now conceded the first goal on 10 occasions this season.
BT Sport pundits Ally McCoist and Derek McInnes were critical of the fact they conceded from a set piece yet again.
But the report continued: “Rangers stood solid in the defence and did not let Brondby get many chances.”
Gerrard might beg to differ as Brondby scored their first goal at the fourth attempt in Group A but still remain bottom with two points.
And they said: “Brondby was close to securing the team's first victory in the Europa League group stage in the fourth attempt, but the team threw a 1-0 lead.”
They also claimed the trouble before the game where baton-wielding police attacked visiting fans outside had added to the atmosphere.
And reported home hooligans fighting with Gers supporters. The report said: “Before the match, there was a lot of unrest and trouble both on and off the stadium as Rangers fans tried to get into stands they were not allowed to be on.
“It created intense activity on the stands, where masked Brondby fans got into a tumult and fight with the Scots. Draft beer also flew through the air.
Fighting police entered the stadium and slowed down the riots.”
Newspaper Ekstrabladet didn’t think it was a first half for the purists but admitted the quality of Ianis Hagi’s equaliser was to be admired as they praised Gerrard for his substitutions.
They said: “It was a half-game that was characterised by more fight and melee than technical and polished play.
"The lead gave Brondby peace at the beginning of the second half. But with several substitutions during the second half, Steven Gerrard's team became more dominant.
“Brondby was pushed further back, made several mistakes and it created a couple of loose chances for the Scots. However, it was a well-played attack that led to the equaliser.”
They also picked up on Gerrard’s comments afterwards with the simple headline ‘Legend: Brondby is finished.”
“Football coaches tend to be diplomatic when judging opponents,” they said. But Rangers manager Steven Gerrard did not need to sugarcoat anything at all, as he was best at assessing Brondby's chances of moving on from the Europa League group.
“I do not see Brondby move on from this group, because the other teams are simply stronger.”
It’s hard to argue with that assessment as they face Lyon, who have already qualified and have a perfect record, next as Gers and Sparta Prague battle it out for second.
