had a fine 2-0 UEFA Cup perfomance against National Bucharest on Thursday,
even though they exitted the tournament, which indicated a revival was at
hand and it was certainly their best performance so far this season. As far
as this match is concerned, Foppe
de Haan's comment that he was sorry his team had 'lost' the match spoke
volumes about how the coach was experiencing his team's latest domestic
failure to win and how great his disappointment was in not winning all 3 points. His
team played some fine high tempo football, especially in theng half,
but failed to create realngs in front of goal. Mika Nurmela finally put them
ahead from the spot in the 37th minute, a controversial decision, but Cedric van der Gun equalized for
the 'Tricolores' in the 67th. After the
match Willem II coach Mark Wotte was also disappointed in his team's
performance, their worst this season he said.
