The end of the match between Twente and Sparta Rotterdam (3-3) was very turbulent this Sunday during the 30th day of Eredivisie, the Dutch championship. It ended with a rather rare scene… In the 91st minute, Shurandy Sambo equalized for Sparta. But he was expelled for a second yellow card after having chambered the public of Twente.
The worst was yet to come… While we were playing the 9th minute of added time, the Twente players rushed to attack to snatch the decision. The whole team except the goalkeeper positions themselves in the Sparta area. But on a long ball cleared by the defense, the player of Twente, Julio Pleguezuelo, was stopped in the middle of the race… by the assistant coach of Rotterdam, Jeroen Rijsdijk. Furious, the Twente defender got up with the intention of coming to blows with Rijsdijk. The two men found themselves head to head. The referee logically expelled the deputy of Sparta. He faces a heavy suspension.
But his incredible unsportsmanlike gesture may have allowed Sparta Rotterdam to preserve the draw. He remains 5th in the standings with a one-point lead over… Twente, four days from the end of the championship.
