Late sub appearance for booth, but at least he was back in the squad. Helps protect a 2-1 win despite a late red card for Twente. Three straight wins and they're up to fifth.
Couldnot be worse to start: FC Twente suffers ignominious friendly defeat against German second division team: 'This looks very ugly' FC Twente put themselves to shame on Wednesday afternoon. The team, which had the good feeling in the competition, went down in Paderborn in an embarrassing way. It was no less than 7-0 for the Germans. John van den Brom had a flashy start as the successor to the fired Joseph Oosting, but after three victories he also knows what it is to lose with the club. And how. It's only a game behind closed doors, but the way in which the Dutch Eredivisie club let itself be exposed by the number four from the Second Bundesliga was nevertheless disconcerting. Rarely has FC Twente received such a beating in a friendly game. "All the beautiful and good that I am very enthusiastic about so far, I have not seen at all today," said a disappointed trainer. "There are always extenuating circumstances, but it makes no sense at all to start talking about them. This looks very ugly." A bright spot was that Sam Lammers made his comeback after months of rehabilitation from a shoulder injury.
Damn. That's harsh. Hard to explain away a loss that big even in a friendly. Against a 2.BL opponent no less. Rough, rough, rough.
As an FYI, Santiago Castaneda was given permission to go to Florida for a family visit and did not play.
