FC Twente Enschede recorded an impressive 5-0 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Turku in the return leg of the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round at Turku Stadium on Thursday, July 26. The first-leg between the two sides ended in a 1-1 stalemate at De Grolsch Veste
on July 19.
Steve McClaren, the Tukkers head coach, was extremely delighted with his side’s impressive performance in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Finland-c2898, and admitted that every player staged a better show than last week.
“We were sharper and fitter than last week, and had a better balance in the team. I was impressed by the result, as we were playing against a side that plays compact game throughout the 90 minutes. It was certainly very encouraging after the 1-1 at home
last week”, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 boss was quoted as saying to the media.
The English mentor went on to insist that it was not an easy outing for his side, but stressed that his team did well to cruise to a comprehensive victory at the end.
“I am extremely pleased with the focus every player showed. The score-line now suggests that it was an easy game, but I can guarantee that it was not, my side made it look easy”, McClaren concluded.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 needed to commence proceedings in Finland brightly following their 1-1 draw at home, and Leroy Fer’s fourth minute strike gave the visiting side a perfect start. Glynor Plet doubled his side’s advantage only three minutes later.
After conceding two goals in quick succession, the hosts started to play better, though, they never really managed to threaten the Tukkers’ defence.
In the 37th minute, Fer scored his second of the evening to make the score-line 3-0. The Tukkers continued to assert their authority in the second-half, and a Nacer Chadli brace in the closing stages of the match sealed an impressive looking 5-0
win for the Enschede giants.
FC Twente will now take on Mlada Boleslav in a double-header tie in the third qualifying round of the competition.
