Match

Roda march on in the cup

Cambuur are out and Roda go through, 3‑2 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Market

Michael Breij puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Roda, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

Cruel end for Cambuur as Roda pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Roda scored in the 122th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Player ratings

A brace, and Fynn Schenten takes the afternoon — 8.75

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Fynn Schenten provided it, and the 8.75 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings

Filip Janssen, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.35

A mark of 8.35 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

6 saves: Justin Treichel was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad

Tempers go at Roda

Mitchell Paulissen was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Joshua Schwirten runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A row about effort at Roda

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Anthony van den Hurk was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

In brief
