FC Twente vs FC Utrecht

FC Twente suffered a frustrating 0-2 home defeat to FC Utrecht at De Grolsch Veste, as the visitors proved clinical on the counter despite seeing just 38.5% of possession. Artem Stepanov broke the deadlock on 32 minutes to give Utrecht a deserved half-time lead. Ángel Alarcón then doubled the advantage in the 66th minute, set up by Gjivai Zechiël, to put the game beyond doubt. Twente fired 16 shots but managed only four on target, while Utrecht converted their chances ruthlessly — eight shots on goal from just ten attempts. A classic smash-and-grab away performance. The defeat leaves Twente on 44 points in fifth, while Utrecht climb to 38 in eighth. A missed opportunity for Twente, who had been building momentum in the race for European qualification.
