Overshadowed by De Classic at De Kuip, FC Twente did what it had to do. Defeating FC Utrecht 2-0, the line-up of coach Ron Jans also passed Ajax in the rankings.
Twente immediately took the initiative at the new pitch in Grolsch Veste. After Virgil Misidjan’s move, the ball went over Vaclav Cerny to Ricky van Wolfswinkel, but the striker missed the shot.
Nearly defeating leaders Feyenoord earlier this month, Utrecht could barely punch before the break. Still, he seemed to get through the first 45 minutes unscathed.
Looks like Twente took the lead in the first half. Utrecht defender Modibo Sagnan went on an adventure and passed the ball to Ramiz Zerrouki. The midfielder, who rebounded in his move to Feyenoord this winter, then gave the goal to Cerny.
And although Utrecht had a chance to equalize after the break from Bas Dost, Twente decided. As Gijs threw Smal, Misidjan childishly slid off Othman Boussaid’s back and eventually hit the ball against the strings.
