Perfect in your own field, without harvesting in foreign terrain. The first part of the Jong FC Utrecht competition can thus be summarized briefly and concisely. The Utrecht talents defeated FC Groningen 1-0 in Stadion Galgenwaard and defeated Roda JC Kerkrade at Sportcomplex Zoudenbalch with the same score. The Utrecht team has not yet managed to score in away matches. In Wijdewormer they lost 1-0 to Jong AZ and in Venlo VVV was too strong 4-1.
The people of Dordrecht have the Belgian top scorer
FC Dodrecht won once, drew twice and lost one match this Kitchen Champion Division season. What is striking is that the Dordrecht team scored two goals in each of the four matches they played. In an attacking sense, Mathis Suray has been the goldcrest of the South Hollanders so far. The Belgian, trained by RSC Anderlecht, is currently the top scorer of the team of trainer/coach Michele Santoni with three goals.
Reuniting with old acquaintances
The away match against FC Dordrecht means a reunion with, among others, Ruben Kluivert (52 matches in Jong FC Utrecht, 16 matches in the first team) and Rocco Robert Shein (32 matches in Jong FC Utrecht, 8 appearances in the first team), but also with former youth players Jeffrey Owusu and Joey de Bie. De Bie played in Utrecht together with, among others, current Jong FC Utrecht players Olivier van Eldik, Sep van der Heijden and Ivar Jenner.
Evenly matched
Jong FC Utrecht and FC Dordrecht faced each other fourteen times in the First Division. In five cases the Utrecht talents won, six times the Dordrecht team took the full spoils and three times the match ended in a draw. Both teams are therefore evenly matched, although the last three mutual meetings have always been a direct hit for the South Hollanders.
