John Guidetti’s first-half hat-trick was enough for the Rotterdammers to see off Co Adriaanse’s men as Nacer Chadli and De Jong’s strikes go in vain.
In the final round of Eredivisie matches before the winter break, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 Enschede at De Kuip Stadion on Sunday, December 18.
The Rotterdam giants started the match brightly in front of their home crowd and took the lead on their first opportunity in the eighth minute. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Otman-Bakkal-c28851 delivered a good low pass into the box, to John Guidetti, after displaying good skills at the right
flank, and the youngster made no mistake in hitting the back of the net.
12 minutes later, the visitors had a perfect opportunity to level the score-line, but Ola John wasted the chance and the score-line remained 1-0.
Moments later, the Rotterdammers were unlucky not have gone 2-0 up. A quickly taken free-kick left http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nikolay-Mihaylov-c28019. However, the Bulgarian gloves man made a decent save to deny the Moroccan ace. The
loose ball went straight to Bakkal, who could only smash his 20-yard effort against the post.
The Tukkers goalkeeper made a brilliant save to deny Guidetti’s header in the 41st minute. However, the Bulgarian shot-stopper had no answer to the Swedish teenager two minutes later when he fired a low shot into the back of the net.
Less than a minute later, the 19-year-old completed his hat-trick, cutting inside his marker before firing a left-footed shot from the edge of the box into the bottom left corner of the net, leaving the Tukkers goalkeeper unmoved.
After the half-time break, the Enschede giants replied strongly and continued to mount pressure on the Rotterdammers back-line. In the 56th minute, the visitors pulled a goal back through Nacer Chadli following a goalkeeping error.
Ten minutes later, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luuk-de-Jong-c22956 made a brilliant run towards the penalty area before powering his shot into the back of the net to make the score-line 3-2.
After scoring their second of the evening, the Tukkers must have felt optimistic about getting a good result by the end of 90 minutes. However, they failed to score the equaliser and the Rotterdam giants secured all three points in front of their home crowd.
The Stadiumclub have collected 13 points from their last five fixtures, and now trail the league leaders http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar by seven points. They head into the winter break sitting at the fifth spot in the league table while the Tukkers occupy the third place.
