The next round of the KNVB Cup tournament has been reached, a clean sheet, no injuries and a comeback. Roger Schmidt can look back on the match against Fortuna Sittard in good spirits.

Always difficult
"We deservedly won, but every game is difficult. Especially since we play so much this month," said the Head Coach. He certainly tried not to underestimate Fortuna Sittard: "The opponent has nothing to lose, so they can put us under pressure. Then it's important to score the first goal early, which could have been a bit earlier. In the end, winning was all that mattered."

Successful night
Richy Ledezma got a nice boost during the match. After long-term injury, he made his comeback. "I'm very happy for him. He can finally play again, after being injured for a year. I know how difficult this time was for him. Fortunately, we didn't have any further injuries. All in all, it was a successful night."
