FC Twente destroys Heerenveen 6-0
Humourous little comments cannot shield the fact that Twente destroyed Heerenveen 6-0 in an obvious horrible defensive display. It defies explanation that Twente, which had barely averaged a goal a match were able to cut through the Heerenveen defenders so easily however such is the case. Without significant changes in the Heerenveen lineup Steve McClaren's lineup came out with a (obviously) well-crafted plan and pelted 'keeper Kenny Steppe with attempts early. While able to keep them off the score-sheet early that would end quickly as Twente skipper Blaise Kufo scored the first of three goals at the twenty-third minute off a nice set-up from veteran Kenneth Perez. Twelve minutes later the veteran combination filleted the Heerenveen defenders with Kenneth Perez the beneficiary of a perfect through ball, which he converted on a nice strike. Heerenveen's day was about to take a nightmare turn as Kufo and Perez each scored again before the brea to bring the score 4-0. The ordeal continued two minutes after the break as Perez unselfishly fed Austrian international Marko Arnautovic at the doorstep. The white-flag was finally raised as Perez supplied Blaise Kufo a slick cross which he headed-in in a match best called a practice ground training session. To add to the day to remember Mika Väyrynen was red-carded as time wound down and will now miss next weeks match against PSV.
