Jeffrey De Lange struck first for FC Groningen on an own goal in the 3rd minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Go Ahead Eagles couldn’t manage to score, and FC Groningen took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 3 of their last 10, while 14th placed Sparta Rotterdam is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Ajax. Steven Bergwijn scored the first goal for Ajax in the 37th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed Sparta Rotterdam couldn’t manage to score, and Ajax took the shutout win. Sparta Rotterdam looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Sparta Rotterdam is fortunate enough to have Vito van Crooy in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 4 goals. Oliver Valaker Edvardsen and Isac Lidberg are the top scorers for Go Ahead Eagles in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
