A one-man rearguard from Lars Unnerstall
There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

No end in sight to Twente's wait for a win
5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Twente has to find a result from somewhere.
