Cillessen with rescue and half assist ‘Man of the Match’ against RKC Football

AMSTERDAM – The passing of goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen for the World Cup in Qatar dominated the brunch match between NEC and RKC Waalwijk, which ended in a 6-1 win for the Nijmegen club. There was a large banner in De Goffert with the text ‘Are you that smart or are we so stupid’. National coach Louis van Gaal once hurled a similar cry at the head of Ted van Leeuwen, who has just left as technical director at NEC. There was also a banner that read ‘Kind in Spanje V, keeper of Orange X’.
