De Tukkers over Sparta
By: Tucker | February 22nd, 2009Twente’s visit to Rotterdam concluded with a 2-1 victory over Sparta thanks to Theo Janssen’s goal in added time.
Certainly feeling fatigue from the mid-week match against Marseille in the UEFA Cup, Twente’s energy level was low and the attack was tame for the most part. However fortune seemed to fall their way as Sander van Gessel turned in Eljero Elia’s cross for an own goal after only four minutes, giving Twente the 1-0 lead. However Serbian international Slobodan Rajković was adjudged for a hand ball thirty minutes in and Ruud Knol sent the ball to the back of the net bring the match level. For the balance of the match most of the attacking aspect was that of Steve McClaren’s side however Sparta had done well and very deserving of a draw. In a shocking conclusion to break the hearts of the Rotterdam club, Theo Janssen sent a speculative shot in added-time from beyond thirty-five metres that somehow evaded Sparta ‘keeper Cássio and give Twente the 2-1 victory.
