In the league we were unable to take any points against Vitesse so we are warned for this match. A place in the semifinals of the cup is at stake. For the last time we have to change in the old clubhouse. The new accommodation is shining the white winter landscape and is ready to be used next week.
We start the game brightly and within three minutes it is Farshad who works in the goal from a corner from Mo. 0 - 1. We haven't managed this before against Vitesse this league. We remain focused. After about fifteen minutes Sander goes on an adventure, he runs and runs and runs and looks and looks and looks and looks and pops the ball really phenomenally into the long corner 0 - 2. We get more chances and in the 44th minute it is Farshad who manages to score the third and his second goal of the afternoon after a pass from Moussa. We go for a nice cup of tea.
After the break we want to continue. After an hour there is a magnificent attack through the middle via Rai and Antonio and the 0 - 4 is a fact. We let our guard down and Vitesse took advantage of this and scored against us. We put this right immediately and in the next attack it is Moussa who scores 1 - 5. Then we finish the game and in the very last minute Clint scores the final goal after a pass from Moussa. 1 - 6.
A big but deserved victory and the defeats in the league are washed away. On to the semifinals against.......... . We will hear about that. But in this form we are not afraid of anyone.
Surely a thank you must go to Vitesse for thinking with us and replenishing the kits for the warm-up. Thanks guys.
In a nice winter snow shower, we leave Papendal happy to face the carnival. Have fun.
