Utrecht
lineup: Wapenaar - Vreven, Van Mol, Schut, Touzani - Bosschaart, De
Jong, Tanghe - Van den Bergh, Kuijt, Roiha.
RBC
lineup: Aerts - Keller, Nascimento, Oliseh - Fleur, De Graaf, Maseland,
Wooter, Tininho - Den Ouden, Vos. Utrecht
had taken a fair old 1-3 knock on Thursday against Legia Warsaw, apart from
all the other unpleasantness that took place. Foeke Booy's team clearly
needed to revive their sagging spirits and restore some honour while RBC
were riding on the wave of their 4-2 win against a neglectful Feyenoord last
weekend. Utrecht had more than their fair share of
chances to score against RBC this afternoon and were clearly the stronger
team but failed to convert their superiority into goals-on-the-board. Foeke
Booy's boys wasted most of their scoring opportunities while RBC had far
fewer but made better use of them. Dirk Kuijt put the Domstad side ahead in
the 39th but Geert den Ouden drew the visitors level in the 43rd. Chris
Dekker probably never expected to be so close to winning 3 points at the Nieuw
Galgenwaard after De Graaf put his team ahead in the 50th. His dream didn't
last long as Utrecht pushed
forward in search of an equalizer and most of the remaining action took
place in the visitors' half. It took till Alje Schut pulled a last minute
goal out of
the bag in the 90th before they got a point for their
efforts.
