De Tukkers frustrate Marseille in UEFA Cup

By: Tucker | February 19th, 2009

Twente’s hopes of advancing in the UEFA Cup continued as they frustrated Marseille with a very easy 1-0 victory. Steve McClaren’s side now are unbeaten in ten matches and in the drivers seat to advance in the UEFA Cup with the return next week in Enschede.

After missing an early attempt, Austrian capped Marko Arnautović turned in Blaise Kufo cross at the twenty-second minute. Following that goal Twente did not put much emphasis on threatening again and focused on ball possession with clinical defending against the heavily out-matched French side. The closest attempt on the goal came from Twente as with ten minutes remaining with Kufo’s header slammed off the post, however with that attempt failing the match ended in favour of Twente 1-0.

  Marseille dominated the shooting in this match. If it weren’t for some superior goalkeeping for Twente as well as the crossbar, Marseille would have won at least 3-1.

  I think we just have a difference of opinion because I didn’t see any “domination” in shooting when you can’t get a ball in the net and lose at home.

  Nice win for the Eredivisie…too bad NEC didn’t show up.
