Sparta qualified for the final of the play-offs against FC Twente via penalties on Sunday evening. Maurice Steijn is very proud of his team and wants to achieve the ultimate with Sparta against FC Twente.
“It was a squeeze”, Steijn looks back on the game against FC Utrecht. “There was everything in it for the audience, I think the people in front of the TV also enjoyed it. All in all, I think we deserved to win. We played for the win from the first moment and also had many opportunities. Two balls on the post. Then you actually get that 0-1 from a very unfortunate moment. I feel like it came out of nowhere, because I think it was the first time they were in the box after eighty minutes. “
“A great end to a great season”, Maurice Steijn adds ESPN. “Based on the season in which Twente finished fifth and we sixth, this may also be a justified final. It will be an incredibly tough match, I saw them play today. But we will sell our skin dearly, as we we’ve been doing that all year. We go for the ultimate.”
