View the summary of FC Utrecht – Excelsior
FC Utrecht recovered well in the Eredivisie last week against Sparta Rotterdam (2-1). The Domstedelingen were a lot stronger on Sunday afternoon than the still scoreless Excelsior: 4-1.
After the midweek victory, Utrecht played a great game in the Galgenwaard in the Play-Offs of the Europa League (2-0), with a leading role for Souffian El Karouani, who provided three assists.
El Karouani thus became the first player of FC Utrecht since Edouard Duplan in 2015 with three assists in one premier league match.
The start of the home team was difficult, but if it doesn’t work at Utrecht, it can trust his reinforcements. And that was the case again: Miguel Rodríguez nodded after a corner from El Karouani.
El Karouani again delivered a good pass shortly before half -time, David Min crawled in front of his husband and tapped nicely inside the far corner.
Two goals Jensen
Excelsior was allowed to have the ball of Utrecht after the break, but showed nothing. The home team was worried and Victor Jensen scored twice (Assists El Karouani and Adrian Blake).
DO-Young Yoon saved the honor for Excelsior with a tinkle in the final phase.
