Match

Utrecht tear Groningen apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑1 against Groningen, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

Marius Broholm, 21, steals the show — 9.70

Marked 9.70 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad

25 days out for Justin Eversen after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Utrecht will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

3 goals for Marius Broholm

The match ball belongs to Marius Broholm, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Player ratings

Yoann Cathline runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Igoh Ogbu wants more than Utrecht are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad

Artem Stepanov is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Tempers go at Utrecht

Marius Broholm 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.

Loan watch

Björn Menzo wants to come home

“I did not go to ADO Den Haag to sit and watch. I want to come back to Utrecht and fight for my place.” 4 appearances in 14 matches say the rest.

Match

Crvena Zvezda take Utrecht apart in Europe

0‑3. There is a level at which football is played every single week by clubs that have been doing it for fifty years, and an evening like this is what it feels like to arrive there without having done it.

Squad

Gjivai Zechiël is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Igoh Ogbu in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Utrecht this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

One of their own: Deveron Fonville

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Utrecht see off Telstar

Three points for Utrecht, 1‑0 the final word against Telstar in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

200 appearances for Siebe Horemans

200 games in these colours. Service of that kind gets rarer every season, and the crowd knows it.

Squad

Ángel Alarcón falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Jesper Karlsson

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Utrecht dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.
