http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marco-van-Ginkel-c23758 strike coupled with a Jonathan Reis brace was enough to secure a convincing victory.
On matchday 15 of the Dutch top tier football, Vitesse Arnhem cruised to a resounding 3-0 win over Roda JC Kerkrade at GelreDome Stadion on Sunday, December 2.
The home side asserted its authority on the pitch right from the first whistle, and enjoyed majority of ball possession. They could have taken the lead within the opening four minutes of play, but Gael Kakuta’s powered effort from the edge of the box went
sailing over the crossbar.
Nonetheless, missed opportunity did not cost the hosts, as they managed to grab the lead in the 10th minute through Marco van Ginkel. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Guram-Kashia-c15392 combined well down the left flank, before the latter found Jonathan Reis unmarked
at the edge of the box. The Brazilian attacker drilled a low shot that found the bottom right corner of the net.
After taking the lead, the Arnhem outfit continued to mount pressure on the visiting side. They could have conceded a goal against the run of play in the 17th minute. However, Krisztian Nemeth’s tame effort hardly troubled the home side goalkeeper,

Five minutes later, Wilfried Bony had a good chance to add his name to the score-sheet, but his blazing effort went inches over the crossbar, much to the dismay of the club head coach, Fred Rutten.
Nemeth had another chance to level the score-line at the half-hour mark, but his powerless effort was easily collected by Velthuizen.
Vitesse took full advantage of De Koempels missed opportunities, when they doubled their advantage three minutes before the half-time break through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 attacker one-on-one against the
Roda goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Filip-Kurto-c13742. The Brazilian striker coolly rounded off the Polish gloves man before hitting the back of the net.
Roda JC resumed proceedings in the second-half brightly, and had their best opportunity of the game in the 51st minute. However, Nemeth’s curling effort rattled the right post, while the rebound was easily cleared by the home side’s back-line.
Eleven minutes later, the Arnhem outfit put the match to bed when Reis netted his second of the evening to make the score-line 3-0.
The home side came close to extend their lead further, but Van Ginkel’s fierce strike hit the crossbar in the 72st minute, much to the relief of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roda-JC-c40375 boss, Ruud Brood.
In spite of enjoying three goals advantage, the Arnhem outfit continued to mount pressure on the visiting side’s back-line. Bony had a golden opportunity to net his 16th goal of the ongoing season a minute before the full time whistle. However,
Kurto made a brilliant diving save to deny the Ivorian ace from hitting the back of the net.
When the referee blew the final whistle, the score-line read 3-0 in favour of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitesse-c40905.
It was totally a one sided affair, as the hosts dominated throughout the 90 minutes. Roda JC had a couple of decent opportunities, but they failed to convert them into goals.
