the 2011/12 season.
The tactician revealed that his troops performed better and deservingly managed to win the match.
“Although we failed to utilize all of our chances, we played much better. Our start was alright, and played concentrated. We let the ball go rapidly, and changed direction quickly that went well”, Karesle was quoted as saying in the media.
The Rats dominated the match right from the kick-off and put immense pressure on the visitors’ back-line. The breakthrough came in the 25th minute, when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kees-Luijckx-c20502 in the box.

favour of NAC.
Karelse was, as expected, pleased with the result. Speaking to the journalists after the match, he said:
“We gave up the initiative after scoring the opening goal. I was not happy and made it clear to the players. Fortunately, it went a lot better after the break. In the second-half, we created a lot of chances, which was good”, Karesle concluded.
NAC climbed up the league table after the win to occupy the 13th spot, five points clear from the drop zone. On the other hand, SBV Excelsior remain unmoved at the bottom of the table.
