FC Twente on the same level with Feyenoord after victory over Sparta | Football

sport">FC Twente hoped to increase the pressure at Feyenoord on Friday evening. With a win over Sparta, Ron Jans’ team would, at least for a while, equalize with the Rotterdam team. But there was also a lot at stake for Sparta. Henk Fraser’s team is fighting against relegation and therefore needs the points desperately.

sport">After five minutes, Twente thought they could take a penalty, after referee Danny Makkelie was taken aside by the VAR. However, Makkelie thought the handball of Adil Auassar, the captain of Sparta, was too light.

sport">Still, the home side took the lead. Ricky van Wolfswinkel scored the 1-0 with his fifteenth goal of the season. Just after the break, Michel Vlap doubled the margin for Twente. After a nice pass from Robin Pröpper, he was able to push in the leather.

sport">The evening seemed to be even more painful for the powerless Sparta, after Vlap also had a good chance to make the third of the evening. However, he failed to close the game and so the final score remained 2-0 in De Grolsch Veste.
